Hello friend

Welcome to healthcaremagic
I read your query and understood your concern.

Such kind of itchy transient eruptions is called urticaria.

Urticaria can be acite or chronic.
If duration is more than 6 weeks..it is chronic urticaria.


Urticaria is a sort of allergy due to multiple factors like any infection, drugs, food, seasonal variation and many more.

I would like to know
1. For how lond it is there?
2. What is your hemoglobin levels?

3.what is your total leucocyte count, differential leucocyte count and absolute eoainophil count.

4 thyroid profile?

I will suggest you to get the above mentioned blood tests and attach the reports .

Till the reports are awaited you can take tab levocetrizine 5mg night time and tab allegra 120mg morning daily.

Take care
Thanx
