What Causes Itchy And Red Rashes On Back, Arms, Upper Legs And Under Breast?

I have been waking up with rashes on my back and arms and upper legs as well as under my breast. They are itchy for a short period of time. I feel like something is crawling on my body all the time, but there is nothing there. My side is now all red. It looks different on different parts of my body. On my back it looks like hives. On my arm its kinda scabby . Under my breast its very red like and blotchy like. My leg it looks like a mosiqtoe bit. Please can you tell me what it might be. Thank you , Ann

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

You are suffering from allergic reaction due to insect bite. Antihistamines and steroids are the drug of choice. Injectable forms are available for both drugs which can be used. In case of throat pain, difficulty in swallowing or breathing, immediately contact your physician since it could be a severe and fatal anaphylactic reaction.

Complete hemogram and blood sugar levels should be taken to identify and rule out other causes.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
