Hi I got hives on my left arm on Saturday. On Sunday there was minimal irritation. Come Monday and Tuesday there are now large clusters of small bumps on both my right and left arm and not the front but the back of the arms. Now anywhere on my body that i start to itch there will appear the same looking rash instantaneously to me itching my skin. Any ideas?
Hi, small itchy bumps spreading all over the body acutely can be due to a condition called acute urticaria. Urticaria is a condition where the body reacts to any allergens like food, cloth,insect bite or sunlight. A dermatologist can diagnose the condition and evaluate the cause of the precipitating agent. Antihistamines and short course of systemic steroids is the treatment for acute urticaria. Please inform the doctor if you have difficulty in breathing or swelling of the tongue to avoid an emergency situation called angioedema. Thankyou.
