What Causes Blotchy Rashes And Swollen Lips During Pregnancy?
hello my girlfriend has developed a blotchy rash over most of her body and her lips have become swollen. It started about 30 hours ago with just some rashes on knees an elbows. after going to the hospital 20 hours ago when the rash was starting to spread she was prescribed some loratadine. the rashes seemed to fade a little over the next 19 hours but now they have flared up and re all over most of her body and her lips are quite swollen also. She is also 10 weeks pregnant Thanks James

Hi,
It seems to be urticaria. It is an allergic reaction. I would recommend you to give her anti-histaminic like tablet chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg twice daily for 5 days.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
