Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be due to the pressure urticaria as pressure increased the swelling and rash is very itchy.
I would suggest to consult the dermatologist and undergo detailed examination.
Doctor will give following treatment:
Tablet steroid, levocetrizine and zileuton
Topical application of the steroid and immunosuppressants like ciclosporin.
Do not give pressure on the affected area
Hope this may help you
Contact HCM for further health query
Best regards
