Brief Answer:
Possible food allergy manifestation.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,

I understand your concern.

You possibly seem to have allergic response to gluten like pasta,which is reflected as these red bumps on your elbows and legs.

Its important that you avoid all this stuff,once for all.

To improve your symptoms I advise to you go for single intramuscular injection of Hydrocortisone 100 mg under medical supervision.

This should be followed by tab Deslor 5 mg one tab daily at bed time for 5 days.

This should completely improve your symptoms.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
