What Causes Recurring Rashes?

I have been getting a rash everyday. Im okay when I wake up. It starts in the afternoon and is ok in the evening. I was on citalopram until December, quit on my own suddenly could this be causing it? also our dog had pups? This has gone on over a month. Those are the only changes I know of.

Hi,

It seems that you may be having chronic idiopathic urticaria. You consult dermatologist to have investigations to rule out any precipitating cause. If no cause is found, then it may be labled as chronic idiopathic urticaria. Fexofenadine 180 mg daily or desloratadine 5 mg daily may be taken for long time. Hydroxyzine HCL 25 mg may be taken at night. After long term treatment , you might be alright. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
