recurrent, itchy, rash

[Shell091164]

I have been experiencing a problem with a recurrent itchy, stingy rash on my arms, legs and chest.  I have also had acute pancreatitis with recurring problems with my pancreas.  To top it all off, I believe my estrogen is very low, as I had a complete hysterectomy years ago.  Could this recurring rash problem be due to my pancreas or my low estrogen?

I would really love some help with this issue

This seems like a bull **** answer, out of a script or something. She was looking for any relation of her itch to the pancreatitis or low estrogen and you didn't address that question at all.

Hello,
Such a rash can be due to hives. Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes. They have a tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours.

Many cases of hives are "idiopathic," meaning no cause is known. Others may be triggered by viral infections or medications.
So check out the medications, clothes or toiletries that you are using as these may be triggering the hives.
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.
