they told me Im allergic to something, but nobody knows what...I had these weird hives looking rash for like 3 months and it started to go away I think because my new job (fast food) makes my hair and skin smell really bad when i come home so Ive been taking 2 showers a day. But I just layed down on my couch too go to sleep and felt like something kept biting me, so I went into the bathroom to change clothes and theres hives starting to form again on my face hand arm legs and stomach...I know Im allergic to cats horses trees grass and antibiotics, but the only one of those im exposed to is my cat, I think it might be something else, am I right?
Hello, Welcome and thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. After reading your query it appears the possibility of "Urticaria". Urticaria is a common condition caused by bursting of allergy producing cells known as "mast cells". As the chemical inside them is released it produces a rash which you have mentioned. There can be multiple factors producing this condition which are included in day to day life and sometimes it is really difficult to find one exact cause. In your case you are correlating it with contact with cats. So it is better to stay away from the offending factors. For the betterment kindly follow the suggestions below:-Apply over the counter calamine lotion 3-4 times a day.-You can do cold water compresses to reduce the intensity of itching.-Do not scratch or rub the skin as it can lead to further aggravation.-You can take oral anti histamine like loratadine or levocetrizine under medial advise. Despite above measures if the problem is not getting better than it is better to consult a dermatologist for best guidance. Hope these information will help." With good health wishes" Chat Doctor.
