Hi I have came out in a very severe rash all over my chest and stomach very red and has little white lumps I was just wondering if you could advise me whether or not I should seek hospital treatment as this appeared on Sunday evening and is rapidly getting angrier
Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at ChatDoctorYou seem to be suffering from Hives OR urticaria would definitely advice that you visit a dermatologist for a proper assessment of the rash. Urticaria OR hives can occur due to various causes like(to name a few) infections(bacterial, viral, fungal), Chat Doctor.  A few cases have no underlying cause and are known as idiopathic urticaria. I would advise you to get few basic lab tests like Hologram, stool for ova/cyst, Urine routine, Chest X-ray. An oral antihistamine like Fexofenadine OR Loratadine once or twice daily for a week would be suitable. They are non-sedating and won't affect your alertness level.a topical soothing lotion like calamine would help you symptomatically. If your Urticaria still doesn't get better you might require a short course of oral steroids. Take care
