hi
for the past two days i noticed that i was itchy under my breast. once i scratched i had a small bumb. then as the day went by i was itchy under my stomach. then i noticed there was a small bump. once i got home from work i took a bath. while taking bath i felt itchy around my hipHip joint replacement Hip pain so i started to scratchAllergy skin prick or scratch test Allergy testing where then to bumps appeared from no where.
i am wondering what can be the cause. if i touch there i still feel the bump also it is still red around those places and itchy.
It can be hives or dermatitis.You can take non-sedating antihistamines such as Cetirizine(Zyrtec) or Loratadine(Claritin) to get symptom relief. Sedating antihistamines such as Chlorphenamine(Benadryl) is used at night to get urticaria control. Short courses of oral cortisone or steroids are taken for short periods (one to three days) to settle more severe symptoms.You may take Vitamin C and apply calamine lotion on the rashes. If still the symptoms persist then pls consult a dermatologist.
Hope it helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
