Rashes On Skin, Feeling Extremely Warm, Not Sunburn. Treatment For Symptoms?

My staff meember (a teacher) came in this morning saying she started to feel extra warm on her drive in to school. She then noticed her bocy is covered in a rash -more like her sckin looks sunburned and feels hot to to the touch. It is -24 outside so it is definitely not a sunburn. Any ideas? she has no known allergies. and is not on any medication , is not wearing nay new clothes or using any new soap products.

Hi ,

Welcome to HCM.

The description given by you suits the diagnosis of urticaria.It can be due to food allergy,insect bite or other causes.

Take antihistaminic like tab.Zyrtec twice daily.Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion over the affected area.

Visit to dermatologist or general practitioner will confirm the diagnosis and allow other prescription medication.

Hope this helps.

Wishing you good health.

Regards.
