Question : Hello, for the last few years I have been breaking out in a rash all over my body. Only in the last few months has it gotten more frequent and more severe to the point I wake up from sleep having a reaction. My skin will be red with raised lines of where I scratch if I do scratch as well as small bumps that remind me of rash or hives. My whole body will end up covered and as I scratch it will spread. My skin will get raised lines where I scratch even if it’s subtle.

Please contact your doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome in Ask the Doctor

I can understand your concern

In such conditions first I recommend you to go to your doctor to get help. Of you were my patient I would start you antihistamines such as Desloratadine steroids prednisolon and probably efedrin as needed.This is a clear allergic reaction and the point is to improve the current situation and find the cause later.

Hope you get well soon.
