Brief Answer:
Possible Food allergy?Anti Inflammatory oral pills will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I can certainly understand your concern.

You possibly seem to have food allergy.

This needs therapy with oral pills of antiinflammatory drugs.

I generally prescribe oral pills of Levocetirizine 10 mg and Wysolone 5 mg immediately followed by oral pills of Deslor 5 mg once a day for 1 week.

This will help to reduce the skin allergic rash.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
