Hi!,
Welcome To HealthcareMagic forum,
Yes ,its a kind of allergy called "urticaria" .And when you scratch and get red raised lesion that is called "symptomatic dermographism".Along with allergy it can be triggered by any infection in the body like infestation of worms in the stomach,bacterial infection in teeth or any fungal infection on body.Even food items which you are allergic to can cause such kind of lesions.Stool examination is to see if you have any worms in the stool. In such cases better is to de-worm the patient by giving him albendazole tablets.Along with this you would also require a long course of anti allergic medicines ,since it is difficult to find the exact cause of allergy.You should also rule any tooth decay and thyroid problem.It is at times associated with thyroid disease. Couple ways to find out the allergen is - PRICK TEST & secondly immunological testing where in all food items are tested .
So,consult your dermatologist with this back ground .I hope this would help you to understand your disease better.

thnks doctor, i am not sure but this tablet i had taken one day only (prescribed by 2nd doctor) , it was orange colour fat one,on asking he told it will clear everything from stomach, i had it. After that he told me to take CETZINE if i find that allergy happening again on my body. Sure i will consult doctor, mean while can you tell me what precautions shall i take.
Hi!
yes, cetrizine is helpful and it should be taken for long. You need to combine some more medicines with cetrizine ,so consult a dermatologist for the same.Avoidance of food depends upon what you feel you are allergic to..usual food items which people are allergic to are - brinjal,fish,curd,beans,drum stick etc.
