Hello friend
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I read your query and understood your concern.
Such kind of itchy transient eruptions is called urticaria.
Urticaria can be acite or chronic.
If duration is more than 6 weeks..it is chronic urticaria.
Urticaria is a sort of allergy due to multiple factors like any infection, drugs, food, seasonal variation and many more.
I would like to know
1. For how lond it is there?
2. What is your hemoglobin levels?
3.what is your total leucocyte count, differential leucocyte count and absolute eoainophil count.
4 thyroid profile?
I will suggest you to get the above mentioned blood tests and attach the reports .
Till the reports are awaited you can take tab levocetrizine 5mg night time and tab allegra 120mg morning daily.
Take care
Thanx
