Brief Answer:
Urticaria skin ,avoid allergens
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
I have seen the attached pictures.
You seem to have developed urticaria or hives which is basically an allergic reaction.
Such a skin allergy can occur after intake of done food stuffs containing preservatives or colouring agents or any other food stuff to which our body is sensitive.
You might need to take some oral antihistamines like Benadryl for two to three days so as to bring down the allergic process .
Also avoid intake of the same agent for some days .
See a nearby doctor if the lesions continue to increase or if you tend to develop swelling around lips or eyes or any breathing difficulty.
