Hi doctor,

I am having small bubbles over my skin since the past three to four months. They come and go in an hour but there is severe itching in that period of time. Please help me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From the description provided, it seems that you are having urticaria.

Urticaria is characterized by red itchy elevated lesions that disappear in a few hours.

Right now you may take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine to help these lesions resolve and give you respite from itching.

I would advise you to visit a dermatologist nearby for proper examination and blood tests to rule out the cause for the same.
