Rash
by Kacey618, May 13, 2008 10:10AM
About 2 weeks ago I woke up with what I thought was 2 mosquito bites on my stomach, they kinda itched but I didnt think anything of it... now its still here along with others (the size of pin heads) almost 2 weeks later in almost a rash look...The are on my stomach, back, neck and the very top of my thighs, and also armpits. I itch very bad. and it seems to be worse in the morning and at night and after a hot shower. I have cleaned sheets. I am on Zyrtec and a topical aveeno anti-itch cream. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This may be a case of urticaria which is a skin manifestation of an underlying allergic reaction. Were you able to identify any known triggers?
For how long have you been having this?
Is the condition persistent or has this resolved already and just recurred?
Also, is the rash relieved by the medications?
If there is a strong family history of asthma and allergies, I suggest that you seek consult with an allergologist for a skin test just to identify possible triggers.
