What Is The Remedy For Itchy Red Rashes On My Abdomen?
I have pin point red dot type rash. itches badly. starts with one and then rapidly. only on abdomen. they start red, perhaps like a flea bite and then scab over if treated with hydrogen peroxide. if I itch them they can cover entire stomach area. has been going on for years. the only way I have been able to make them go away is with steroid ointment. keeps reoccurring. disappears in summer due to swimming in salt or chlorine I suppose,

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.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
