Suggest Remedy For Raised, Tender And Itchy Welts On Body
I have been getting raised oval shaped welts on different parts of my body for the past week. Arms , legs, upper torso, mostly on large muscles. Never on hands, feet, face, or head. They are firm like a mosquito bite but much larger. Light pink in color, slightly tender to the touch and, slightly itchy. A welt lasts about 24hrs. Please help....

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction.
I suggest using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.
I also suggest using a steroid cream for local application such as Betametasone cream.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
