I keep getting whip marks almost like scratches on my body but they only appear when I am home at night. They itch, but I do not see any bugs biting me and they only happen to me and not my spouse. They go away overnight. What can be the cause from them?
Hi. As per your case history you are having urticaria, my treatment advice is - 1. Avoid fast food and food with artificial colors. 2. Don't take any medication without consulting a doctor as it may worsen the condition. 3. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily. 4. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days. 5. Other treatment options are oral steroid like prednisone, oral hydroxyzine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
