Iam a 61 yr old female. last Sunday I got a rash all over my body. it hurt more than itched. felt very tired. The next day I woke up and every joint in my body hurt . I ve had feelings of major curd, tired, pain in my hands and wrists, very weak in my arms as well. Also felt like throwing up with very hot flashes, not related to menopause. What do you think?
Hi. As per your case history you are urticaria. My treatment advice is - 1. Avoid fast food and food with artificial colors for 2 months. 2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral steroid, hydroxyzine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
