I have hives or an itchy rash
I bought a new body wash and used it sunday morning. A few hours later I started to itch all over. I realized that I had an itchy rash where I felt itchy. Over the next few hours, I started to itch all over my body from my feet to my neck.
24 hours later. I have found that by applying Alo vera it abates and the redness and itching go down. but it doesnt see to be any better than it was yesterday.

It is nothing to do with bodywash. You are probably 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 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..
