Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the details.

I have gone through your details and seen the photo.

It looks like Allergic reaction to any substance or injury. Your AEC count is high which is very much suggestive of Allergy and as you have localised rashes that is present on single or very few sites, it could be due to a trivial injury to your skin producing the rash.

You might be having a sensitive skin producing these rashes even with trivial injury which usually goes unnoticed.

You need to take extra care of your skin. Avoid any injuries and observe for changes and make note of any injuries or unusual contact with any other substances. Apply Calamine lotion over the rashes and avoid any scratching.

Hope this answers your query. If any further clarifications, will be happy to help you.

Regards.

Brief Answer:
Consult an Immunologist

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the follow up.

The Allergic reactions can be reduced by avoiding the exposure to the allergens and trauma or can go for immunotherapy where they would find out the allergen and will expose you to that gradually and would reduce the reactions. Once the exposure is avoided or the reactions are reduced due to immunotherapy the AEC count would reduce gradually.

So, consult an Immunologist for examination and treatment.

Hope this answers your query. If any further clarifications will be happy to help you.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
