Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The symptoms are suggesting me that you are having some allergic reaction.
You need to found out the reason for the rashes which comes and goes with itching.
First you need to know your absolute eosinophill count (AEC), if its percentage is high in the body you have to identify the allergen causing the symptoms.
I would advise you to undergo Skin prick test or Patch test for the allergen and we can identify allergen.
Once allergen is identified it will easy to prevent and treat the condition.
Thank you.
