my arms if they get cold, ie short sleave shirt on outdoors, they go blue where the rash is not really blue but purpally, when i press the red parts on my arms( basically whole of lower arm up to elbow,) it goes white for 1-2-3 seconds

Just wondering if you sleep with wool blankets there, as they are rough and if sensitive to it may have some probs? Or maybe sensitive to a type of laundry detergent or softner? Is it itchy?

The blazer may be holding in the heat and making the rash appear worse.  It would be good to have a allergist check into what you might be allergic to. Could be the fabric softner.  Try using ALL free and clear on all your clothes and bed sheets/comfortors. Good luck to you.

Yep, sounds like you're in the clear. I'd stop taking the anithistamines now, too. Start back up if you notice a worsening of the condition. Take care.
