default
Posted on Mon, 26 Dec 2016
Question: Over the last week red itchy blotches have been appearing on different parts of my body. I've put Calimine lotion on them and taking Benadryl. They don't appear in the same place. Should I see an Allergist?

Seems to be urticaria, consult an allergist

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
According to your complaints it seems to be urticaria which is an allergic reaction. It has many causes which needs to be evaluated.
I would recommend you to consult an allergist for the same.
