Brief Answer: Seems urticaria/allergy Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic. The itching and rash seems to be urticaria. But I need a photo of the lesions to be better able to help. Till then you can take tab cetrizine 5 mg bd or loratadine 10 mg daily. You will also need to find the trigger in your new house. It is possible that it may be happening from bed bugs or other insects in the new house. Your body mass index is 27.2. This comes under the category of overweight. To reduce weight you will need to take low calorie food and avoid high calorie foods. The high calorie foods to be avoided are cheese, butter, ghee, cream, icecream, sugary foods, sweats, etc. You will also need to exercise for atleast 20 min a day. Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further. Dr Vaishalee
