Had Poison Ivy. Having Pinprick Like Spots On Abdomen, Chest, Neck, Arms. Applying Topical Cream For Itching. What Could It Be?
I had Posen ivy for the first time a month ago (think this was truely poisen ivey) then what we thought was a second time 2 weeks ago... Now the pin prick type dots are still on my abdomen, chest, and neck, a few on my arms. Iches like crazy. Benadryl does nothing to relieve, and my doctor gave me a topical cream to help heal.... And agreed this wasn't Poisen Ivey again. Any ideas? (Note I am the only one in my house with them)
After reading your query it appears that you are suffering form urticaria or allergic rash.
Urticaria is a common condition where due to release of histamine from the white blood cells; especially mast cells causes all breaking out with red rashes all over body. It remains transiently for few hours and then disappears its own.
You please check out for any recent change in your daily routine where some allergen producing the same is coming in contact. It can be in the food, environmental or some times in your clothes too such as some dyes and fibers.
You can take tablet loratadine or levocetrizine or any good antihistamine tablet by mouth for one to two times per day.
Take care.
