I have rash-types over my legs and also welt-type rash appears across my stomach or mid section. I think they are hives but one cannot be sure. They come and go but those little red dots on my legs stay awhile. They do not always itch. The ones on my mid devotion do itch. Are these hives?
Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. If they itch, possibility of hives is more, however, there is possibility of dermatitis also. Diagnosis of skin condition is best done by direct examination of the skin. Hence, a dermatologist would be the best person to identify the type of lesion.2. I usually suggest my such patients antihistamines like cetirizine or levocetirizine for 7-10 days (depending upon response) which treat and prevent itching.3. I would also suggest you to regularly apply calamine lotion or moisturizing cream/lotion over the skin lesions. It will help to recover early.4. Please avoid irritating/woolen and tight clothing. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards.
