Hello Praveen. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history. Although there are so many types of rashes, I guess you may be having chronic urticaria. Chronic urticaria have so many causes. Common ones are physical ones - excessive sweating, exposure to warmth/cold, physical activity, sun exposure, pressure over some part of body, etc. If these are not the causes, I would suggest you to consult an Allergist who may advise you some investigations like CBC, ESR, CRP, thyroid function, thyroid antibodies, urine & stool examination, allergy testing, etc. This will help him to reach at some diagnosis and suggest treatment accordingly. Till then, I would suggest you to take a Chat Doctor. Regarding blood sugar, it is very unusual for ALEX to cause elevation of blood sugar. This might be a chance finding. Please do not worry if your one time blood sugar report is high, I would suggest you to get fasting blood sugar, postprandial blood sugar & HbA1C reports which will help to know what is abnormal with your sugar levels and whether you are really diabetic or not. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish you the best of the health. Regards.
