extreme outbreak of hives
by kygranny, Sep 07, 2006 12:00AM
I am 49 yr old female premenopausal and have suffered from a rash for the past 10 yrs.I have been tested for allergies.. been to numerous doctors. I take Zyrtec everyday and my last ourbreak put me in the bed for 3 days completely exhausted.The outbreak is located upper torso including neck and face with a fever and my chin peels.When the hives are gone I itch terribly. I tested to be allergic to milk which I have avoided, didn't break out for 4 months, then last month I got a sore throat swollen glands, fever and chills and broke out again,had blood work done and it came back normal. My skin get so hot. I take cool showers and that makes the rash worse, and at times I feel prickly needles where I break out and is very painful.Can you suggest any specific testing that could give me a definite diagnosis? What medical specialist should I see for this condition?
