Online consultation for skin allergy and itching
Hives (urticaria) are itchy, raised welts that move around and fade within a day. They are often set off by an infection, a medicine or a food, and in hives that last for weeks no cause is found in most people. A rash in one place after a soap, cream or metal is usually contact dermatitis. Both are treatable, and most need no allergy tests.
An online consult can help with
- Hives or welts that come and go
- Itching all over the body
- A rash after a new soap, cream, cosmetic or jewellery
- A mild rash after a medicine, with no other symptoms
- Hives that have lasted more than six weeks
See a doctor in person if
- Trouble breathing, chest pain, fainting, confusion or a seizure: go to the nearest emergency department or call 108.
- Swelling of the lips, tongue, eyes or face, or a tight throat, wheeze or difficulty breathing
- Hives with dizziness, fainting or vomiting after a food, a sting or a medicine
- A rash with fever, blisters or peeling skin, or sores in the mouth or eyes, after a new medicine
- Bruise-like spots that do not fade when pressed, especially with fever: call 108 now
