Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your history and clinical images are more in favor of acute urticaria. It is an immediate kind of skin allergy, and once it starts, it usually tends to last four to six weeks if appropriately treated. You could even try to identify any possible exacerbating factor. The usual ones are pain killers, flowering plants, pet animals, artificial colored food items, nuts, seafood, cement dust, and more.

You can start taking tablet Allegra 180 mg (Fexofenadine) once daily in the morning, and tablet Cetirizine 5 mg once daily in the evening for three weeks regularly. You can apply lotion containing calamine, aloe vera gel, glycerin, and light liquid paraffin at sites of itch.

I hope this has helped you. Please feel free to reach me again, in case of further queries.

Thank you.
