I woke up this morning absolutely covered in itchy red hives. They reside between my thighs, under my armpits and even on the palms of my hands! They ve spread out covering everywhere except my face. I also have open sores in my labia that are incredibly painful and I m assuming is herpes. Are these things related? Or is it possible I m having an allergic reaction to something?
Hi, Thanks for the concern. If I were your treating doctor. I would come up with these possibilities. Your itchy hives could be due to allergy (food/ticks and mites/pollen). You may have to check if it is correlated to food intake or exposure to pollen(any history of working in garden). If it is related to ticks and mites you may have to change your carpet and blankets, pillow covers. You can take antiallergics over the counter been Chat Doctor. Herpes is common in elderly patients. Herpetic lesions start on one limb or only restricted to certain area of the body. So Herpes would not be the cause. Consult the nearest dermatologist to show the lesions and for prescription.
