Now from the description provided, it looks like your wife is developing lesions lesions of urticaria. But before coming to the diagnosis, I would like you to elaborate over the skin rash. Since when is your wife having this skin rash? Is it evanescent in nature? This means that does it appear and disappear after sometime of its own? Is she taking any medicines in the form of pain killers or antibiotics? Any seasonal variation? Also it would be great if you can click some close up pictures of the skin rash and upload them here on this page. You can also email them at YYYY@YYYY with heading as ref to Dr Geetika Paul.
