What Causes Swollen Rashes On Back,abdomen And Face?

Hi, I often have rashes on back, side, abdomen and sometimes face. Those rashes on the body are followed by marks that looks like a scratch with a nail and those on a face are just red and a bit swallowed spots. Rashes are very occasional. One doctor told me that it may be from stress but I doubt it . I am sure I've got some sort of an allergy. Thank you, Anna

Hi,

Red swollen rashes probably indicate urticaria, it can b due to following causes:
1. food allergy to some particular foods
2. Drug allergy if you are on something
3. Dust
4. Parasitic infection
5. Stress related
6. Anemia and thyroid disorder

A detailed history and examination will be helpful to rule out cause. Till then you can apply calamine lotion which will be soothing for you.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. R. G. Joshi, Dermatologist
