few days ago I discover some hives on several parts of my body like on my right knee, left forarm etc. because it is very itchy I applied a cortizone cream, the itch went away but after few hours it feels sore and its very painful and even before without the cream applied the hives becomes sore after few days. What causes this?
Hi, It may be lichen ultimatum most probably. There may be secondary bacterial infection due to severe scratching. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply antibiotic cream like juridic acid cream and take a course of antibiotic for a week followed by a course of oral steroid in tapering dose. Take antihistamines till the itching subsides. Keep away yourself from insects which may be responsible for the disease. Hope this helps. Chat Doctor.
