Hard Stomach, Bumps On Back Of Tongue, Rash On Arm And Leg. Cause?

I have a hard stomach, and I also have had bumps on the back of my tongue for the past 3 weeks, and I have found one rash on my arm , and two on my leg. I took a blood test on Oct. 4, and everything came back negative, however I am still worried. The test was taken 2 months, and 2 weeks after my last sexual encounter. What do you think could be the cause of these symptoms?

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.

Hives, also known by their medical name of Urticaria, are raised, flat-topped bumps that are smooth to the touch and typically red in colour.

Some hives are caused by allergies to such things as foods, medications, and insect stings, but in the majority of cases, no specific cause for them is ever found.

Rarely, angioedema of the throat, tongue, or lungs can block the airways, causing difficulty breathing.

Testing will depend on your medical history and a thorough exam by your primary care doctor or dermatologist.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
