What Causes Red Itchy Rashes On Face, Arms, Back And Buttocks?

I started getting itchy rashes just after waking. The rashes are red, occur on face, arms, back, buttocks. They usually last several hours and are then gone. I have ruled out meds, foods and contact dermatitis. What could be a cause? Stress? Autoimmune disorder?

Hello,
As per the history given by you,it seems that you had the symptoms in the past too.It could possibly be due to insect bite also.You can take antihistamine medications for immediate relief.Family history and other necessary tests have to be done to rule out the cause of rash.
I would advise you to get a consultation with Dermatologist to rule out cause and for further evaluation.
