Shifting red spots on body parts without
Red spots have been occurring on different body parts. Usually subsides in a few days. There is no itching but sometimes, I develop swelling and muscular pain in that area. I had taken dexamythasone for 45 days and these symptoms have started to occur since I have left taking that medication. I had also gained 6 kgs during these 45 days. I have no known allergies and think this could be side effect of the medicine. Please advise.

Dexamethasone is not required for this, and taking high doses for long time I can cause side effects like weight gain. 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 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. ,
