Hi doctor,
Yesterday, I woke up with bumps on my face and neck. It started off small and it was really itchy, so I itched the bumps and they started to get bigger. I washed my hands after and got some cream to stop it from itching. Later on, more bumps started to appear after itching myself and it is on my fingers and the back of my neck, and I have no idea what I have and it is hard to find treatments without knowing what it is. I do have a feeling it is an allergic reaction since I ate a whole packet of sweets and it had a weird texture to it.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is urticaria and you are right it is an allergic reaction. Urticaria can be due to drugs, any food material to which your body is allergic. You have to keenly observe and note the things that can flare it up or cause it. Do not worry. You will get better with proper treatment and medication.
