Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I keep getting rashes. They begin as a slight itch. If I scratch even a little, the rash gets bright red and spreads quickly. I have been getting injections for varicose veins and had the first reaction during scelara therapy. It made me sick in the stomach and light headed. Clapping my hands caused them to turn red and itch. My feet got red and itchy after walking a mi!e. Heat and cold bring on the rashes. Laser therapy was used several times on deep veins. I also keep having cancer spots removed. Could the rashes be related to repeated vein treatments? Any suggestions?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red itchy rashes all over the body. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like poor and compromised immunity of body, contact dermatitis can be caused by coming into contact beauty products chemicals and poisonous plants, allergic reaction, sensitivity to sunlight, side effects or certain medicines and psoriasis. Need not to worry. You should take plenty of fluids on daily basis. Yes it could be due to repeated vein treatments as well. I would suggest you to maintain proper personal hygiene, take zyrtec one a day and apply cold compresses to reduce the itchiness and inflammation. Consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test , test for allergy and physical examination. Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid ointment, antibiotics , anti inflammatory and immunosuppressants .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
