What Could Rashes On Arm With Chills Suggest?

A small rash in clusters appears almost pattern like an elongated diamond ( several groups) all the way down right arm. Rash is tiny flat bumps shaping the pattern, same color as my skin. Prior to the rash appearing I feel like an electrical charge similar to that when you get the chills only stronger. My hair on my head and my arm literally stand up. It goes as fast as it comes. Should I be concerned. I am 27. This has happened 3 times now. The last time I could not get my hair to lay down on my arms for a minute.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

You seem to have Hives. They are itchy welts with surrounding flare. I suggest you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion to calm down the rashes. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g Tab Cetrizine once a day for symptomatic relief from itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
