Type of Skin Rash Pictures - Hives?

Hi, my name is Raff, I'm 25 and live in South Australia...

About year ago, this problem first came up. i sprayed hair spray in my hair as i had no hair product and i noticed, that nyt, my head was very itchy...

I thought maybe i had head lice but it was all clear and no signs. I continued the scratching and slowly over time, my neck, then my face, my shoulders, back, stomach, legs, all over had these small patches and some even the size of a 5c coin.

They looked like mosquito bites however bigger and some even where swollen.

I went to a few docs and I eventually was prescribed creams and prednison (oral steroid) 25g, and it slowly went away with time, however, 6 months ago, it sorted started again on my arms or neck.

I am an asthmatic and have allergies to everything (lice, mites, cats, horsehair, grass etc) expect dog.

Now a bout a week ago, I had few oranges and my neck flared up with these small bite flares as shown in the photo..

I was wondering, is this a sign of eczema? I treat the issue with telfast tablets which work well

any information would be great. I believe I should go take a skin test to see but i haven't had time with uni being sooo busy.

regards Raff

Hi Raff,

Yes, I can see from your rash picture that it does look like big mosquito bites. This does not look like eczema - it looks like a classic allergic rash or hives.

In fact, it looks more like hives than a regular rash.

Yes, I would definitely get a allergic skin test to see what ingredients you are allergic too. You can also try a natural homeopathic ingredient that you spray under the tongue to help build up your body's natural immunity to all these common allergens.

According to the According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, up to 20 percent of the population suffer from hives.

And hives can be brought on from a number of things from allergic food reactions to even emotional stress!

That's why it's important to find out what you're allergic too so you can try to avoid them.....

It might be worth a try to see if you can build up some immunity to all of those allergens.

I hope this helped you.

Thanks,
Linda
