I haven't found a doctor yet who can help me

About 3 months ago I started breaking out in itchty hives, these hives would show up in random spots all over my body and would stay until i took some antihestemines. The hives would dissapear without a trace but would come back as soon as the meds wore off. about 3 weeks ago I stopped getting hives and started getting eczema like rashes. Now these rashes have spread down my arms and trunk of my body. I am a very healthy 25year old male.

This is driving me nuts can anyone help...pleeeease?

Hello,
From your symptoms eczema, allergic reaction and pityriasis rosea needs to be ruled out. Pityriasis rosea is a common human skin disease which presents as numerous patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and sometimes by itching.

To confirm the diagnosis, I suggest you to get it examined from a dermatologist. Treatment is specific for all.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
