Random body rash: what could it be?
in Health ·
Hey everyone,
I’ve been dealing with these skin allergy reactions for about six months now, and honestly, it's getting old. My palms and feet swell up, and I get these rashes—sometimes small spots, sometimes larger red welts all over my body.
The weird thing is, these red welts don't actually itch, and they usually clear up within 24 hours. Some areas of my body swell up just from pressure—like if I lean against the edge of a desk or something. After a mountain of tests, I still don't have a real diagnosis. I did test positive for pressure urticaria during allergy testing. They put me on Zyrtec, but it hasn't done a damn thing. To top it all off, some private dermatologist told me this whole thing is just "psychosomatic"...!!! I'm not buying it. It doesn't make sense to me because I'm not exactly living under massive amounts of stress or dealing with major life crises.
Has anyone else dealt with anything similar?
Best,
