Reason For Frequent Rashes?
Hi, please can you give me some advice? Often (for over a year), I get a rash on my neck and chest, which does not look like hives, it is not raised or spotty and it is just a patchy rash. It comes up when I am stressed, hot, or emotional. It seems to be where I got sunburnt last year, it faded, obviously. However when I get hot, emotional or stressed, it appears, it is really embarrassing because everyone thinks I ve been on a sun bed! I am taking anti allergy tablets for hayfever and they do nothing. Thank you.

Hello,
It may be urticaria due to stress. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. You may take anxiolytic-like fluoxetine daily in the morning and desloratadine at night for a long time. Avoid stressful conditions and be relaxed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilyas Patel
