Severe Itchy, Burning Rashes In The Body, Joint Pain In Shoulders, Wrists, Frequent Urination. Opinion?
In the last two months I've developed a severe rash on my arms, hands, legs, butt, back, and abdomen. These rashes itch and burn to the point where I become irritable, and lose sleep. I take benedryl but it doesn't work. I have also developed joint pain in my shoulders elbows, wrists, hips, and ankles. I also have to urinate about every 30 minutes.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
How old are you? Do you have any other illness like Diabetes? Are the rashes persistent or appears and vanishes and reappears?
It seems you may likely to have Urinary tract infection. Frequent urination and joint pain may be due to the same.
The rashes may be likely due to urticaria. You may be allergic to some dietary sources or medicine or environmental factors,phytogenic or even may be due to the urinary tract infection.
Simple urine test will reveal Urinary infection.
Consult a dermatologist he/she will help you to find the cause and treat you easily.
Get well soon.
