Hives on skin
My daughter is 13. She is having hives daily in the evening and and itches for for sayhalf an hour and fades. It mostly looks like scratches . No other medical history. It started 3 weeks back. When it started it came alternate days. Mostly it comes on legs and shoulders.
She says there are insects when she go for tuition in the evening. But how does it go and come back again next day when she doesn't go for tuition.

She is suffering from what Dermatologist call urticaria. Common causes are food allergy, infection or drugs taken for some condition. It presents with itching resulting in formation of red rashes which we call hives or wheals. Although in most cases cause remains unknown in spite of a thorough search. It can be symptomatically treated with medicines so that you do not get any new hives. The treatment should be prolonged until it resolves which usually takes 1 to 6 months. Please call me or contact me through online consult option for further details and treatment. ,
