Hi, I sometimes get a rash all over my body. It only happens when I do sport and sweat, but it does not happen every time. It starts with small red dots that develop into big areas of hardening leather-like skin. My ears swell very big. If I dont sit down, I faint, as my skin is extremely hot. After 2 hours I get very cold , tired and hungry. The skin goes back to normal after ca. 5 hours. Do you have any clue what this could be?
Hello.thanks for your query. I feel that you have something knows as Urticaria. It is common condition with frequent exacerbations and remissions. In most cases, a direct cause is not identified.However, a combination of correct anti-histaminic tablets for a few months help in reducing the severity and frequency of these hives. Start application of a soothing anti-pruritic calamine lotion to relieve the itch. In certain cases a few Food tests are advised to rule out ant internal causation of the same. Of prednisone you are taking. In some cases a higher dose and a gradually tapering therapy is required. Do not worry, although symptoms and treatment course of urticaria is prolonged, these do not pose any danger in most people! You should visit a physician to evaluate the systemic symptoms you have as well. Hope this helps!take care...
