Suggest Treatment For Hives On The Knees , Armpits And Elbows
Hello. I am 27 year old female. I have developed which kind of looks like hives on knees, elbows, and armpits, and little area on face, belly and chest. They itch a little then become sore. Family practitioner prescribed benadryl and cream it is not helping and I do think I have contact dermatitis. I have no new detergent, lotion,perfume etc. please help

Hi. If it is persisting for more than 24 hours, its unlikely to be hives. I mean individual hive. not the episode. Continue benadryl for couple of days. If individual lesions are persisting for more than 24 hours, you need to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment. Hope it helps
