<human>: A few weeks ago, I developed hives in the inside of my arms,  along my arms, my stomach, my ribcage and sides,  across my chest and back. The hives/rash remains itchy and leaves markings/bruising in all the body areas mentioned.  I have been using witch hazel and almond oil to help alleviate the itching and/or bruising,  but it has not receded after a couple of weeks now.
<bot>: Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  As you describe it appears to be the allergic reaction, may be due to the food, clothes, wool, soap, or cosmetics.  I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.  I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms vitrine, dexamethasone, and ofloxacin.  Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
