Welts or hives?!? Please help!?!
Question: Welts or hives!?!!? Please help!!?
*IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH YOU MAY NOT WANT TO READ THIS*
This morning at 5am I began scratching my knee!. It was red and after scratching, a big quarter size red welt appeared!. I assumed at first I had been bitten by a mosquito or spider!. 20 minutes later I was covered in those big welts on both my knees, down my legs, my butt, lower back, and both arms!.
I took a shower thinking I should clean the areas then slathered on Dermasil but right after the shower I had MAJOR diarrhea and vomiting to the point where it was both coming out really runny and I fell asleep right afterwards and slept until 6pm!.
Now that I am back awake, I do not feel sick at all but the welts are still extremely itchy and covering the same areas!.
I don't know if the welts and sickness are related other than they happened around the same time!.
I have not been outside in days since I recently got out of the hospital with a kidney infection so I don't think it is poison ivy, I have not changed any soaps or detergents, have not eaten anything differently, and we have 1 dog but she stays outdoors and I have seen no fleas in our home!.
Has anyone else had this problem!? Is it something associated with pregnancy (this is my 6th one but I've never had this happen before) or have any of you had this and not been pregnant!.
I've been googling all day and even looking up staph infections since I was in the hospital recently but I can't narrow it down since most sites are of people also asking what it is!.
The itching is driving me nuts and if anyone has had this and know what I could use to get relief I'd appreciate it!.

Answers:
The culprit may be as simple as the Bactrim causing diarrhea and your body reacting to it!. If you can take Benadryl while pregnant then that should relieve the itching!. Get with your doctor and hopefully this is a one time occurrence and not going to be an ongoing issue!.

Since you were recently in the hospital, my first question would be about possible reactions to meds you took or are taking!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
it sounds like hives!.i have been plagued by them off and on all my life!.they are raised red welts that are intensely itchy!.they come and go from different areas!.you could be allergic to something but there are many other reasons that can cause them!.i doubt very much that nausea and vomiting have any relation to them!.if they continue to be a problem i would se a physcian!.there are medications to help with them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
