I have what sounds like the same thing.  I've seen the dermatoglist and internal medicine doctor, been given to topical prescriptions, steriods, and aniexty medicine.  Nothing seems to help.  Have suffered with this for over a month now.

Hello,
It is very difficult to confirm a diagnosis without examination but the possibilities of hives and viral rash need to be ruled out. Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes. They have a tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours.
So please get this possibility evaluated.

Till then, give some antihistaminic like Benadryl and apply some calamine lotion. If the symptoms persist then please get an evaluation done by a dermatologist. He may need topical and oral steroids.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
