Patient Question

Hello Doctor,


I have a hive-like rash all over my body that has been worsening over the past day. I've been awake the entire night, unable to stop scratching uncontrollably, and there's no way I can go to school or work. What should I do?


Thankyou!

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.


As a dermatologist, it sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction, which could happen due to several reasons, such as contact with an irritant, medication, insect sting, or food. The rash and itching could be symptoms of this reaction, and in severe cases, it may cause anaphylaxis, which is a medical emergency.However, it's important to note that without a proper examination by a healthcare professional, it's difficult to determine the exact cause. I would recommend seeing a doctor or a dermatologist who can provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. They may prescribe antifungal or antibacterial medications, suggest proper foot hygiene practices, or recommend other interventions based on the specific cause of the issue.


Thanks & Regards
