Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
For the past seven months, I have been getting these reddish-pink non-itchy bumps on my skin. They are round to oval and small to big. When they first appear, they were all over my arms, abdomen, back, and on my thighs. Now they randomly show up here and there. I had a large one in my elbow crease and it went away after a day or two. Now, I have two small ones on my forearm and two larger ones on my back, and one on my left lower abdomen. Every time I go to the doctor and they disappear. Some of them leave flat reddish-like scars for a few weeks. Currently, I am taking Ativan and Metoprolol. But, I was not on these medicines when this rash began. What shall I do now?

Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
I do not have any swelling anywhere on the face during these episodes. They do not itch at all. So, I was not sure if they would be hives. They will last somewhere between few days and week.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Occasionally, hives may not be itchy. This may also be the case in angioedema and vasculitic urticaria. Vasculitic urticaria usually persists for days. It may be associated with connective tissue disease. But, I assume there are no typical symptoms like chronically recurrent fever, joint pains, photosensitivity, etc., so chances are less. Angioedema is usually non-itchy but may be associated with some discomfort or pain. The swelling is at a deeper level, so may persist for a longer duration. It may be associated with bouts of abdominal pain, facial swelling etc during the episodes.
