For additional information, I have had internal pinworms so the parasite inside my body hence why I took one tablet mebendazole as I was told by my GP and another one after ten days. I also had rashes and itchy feeling and sometimes biting a few weeks ago which carried on to my head and hair but thankfully it stopped after a while. I also have low iron-levelkann0

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query,

you might have developed acute urticaria.

It is an allergic condition.

Anything including food, cloth, change in climate, pollens etc can cause urticaria.

You need to find out the cause.

Treatment can be with oral anti histamines.

Steroids like prednisolone are also helpful but cannot be used for long.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
