What Is The Treatment For Red Dots On The Skin?
I ate grilled oysters and a few minutes later I have hives and red dots on my face, body, arms and legs? Also the weather turned very cold this same night. Do you think it is the oysters? When my mother was about my age, I am six she, had the same reaction, only more severs. What do you think? I am taking benedril, and calomine lotion is applied to my skin.

Hello,
It seems to be allergic. I would recommend you to take antihistaminic like tablet chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg thrice daily. If the reaction is severe I would recommend you to take a short course of oral steroids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney
