I never have these symptoms, it is the first time. I have rashes borke out all over my whole legs and arms, some are located on my back. They are red and allways very itchy. They look puffy and feels burning if I scratch them. Once I start scratching, I can't stop and new bumps and patches come up. My family doctor said it is an allergic reaction, but i don't think it's that simple....... is it HIVES??????? !!!!

It's been 2 weeks since Apr 13th, 2009.........at the beginning they were just some small bumps, now they join together, irregular shape, even my palms and fingers have them now. The color of the old hives seems fade a little bit compare to last week. However, the red patch are still there, it won't go away, the skin just looks darker

This website said hives could last for 6 weeks. New hives can continue to develop as the old areas fade..... it's same as my condition...... The article says if it last for more than 6 weeks, then it could become a lifetime problem!!! I am so scare.
I take showers with warm water everyday. I have been taking Zyrtec,10mg one tablet daily and using Caladryl Lotion for itch relief.... my uncle also give me some fluocinolone acetonide cream which he got from his doctor last year when he had rashes, but couldn't help that much, still very itchy......expecially at night, midnight , all night long !!!!! I can't sleep at all !!!!!!
My doctor gave me some prescription drug today call MethyIPREDNISolone TABLETS, USP 4mg. She said I can't take too much of this drug. It's only for a week. I don't know what I can do if it doesn't cure my rashes.
Is it HIVES?? What kind of medicine or what should I do to help to stop the rashes???
i am burning, itching, and dying..... somebody please help me ....
