This posting is for my husband!. (doesn't have an account and doesn't know how to even turn on a computer)

His skin starts itching, he scratches it and he gets welts, big to small one!. The welts last about half a day to a day!. They are also red!. He has gotten them over his skin including his lip!.

Any ideas what this could be!?

Answers:
This sounds like urticaria!.

Urticaria (or hives) is a skin condition caused by tiny amounts of fluid that leak from blood vessels just under the skin surface!. It is also common for hives to be caused by an allergic reaction that results in raised red skin wheals Hives can pop up in times of emotional stress, exercise, heat, or strong sunlight!. Often this extreme occurrence arises on those with sensitive skin!.

Weals from urticaria can appear anywhere on the body, including the face, lips, tongue, throat, and ears!. The weals may vary in size from about 5 mm (0!.2 inches) in diameter to the size of a dinner plate; they typically itch severely, sting, or burn, and often have a pale border!. As well as stress, Urticaria is generally caused by direct contact with an allergenic substance, or an immune response to food or some other allergen!. The rash can be triggered by quite innocent events, such as stroking or exposure to cold!.

It can be helped significantly with diet!. See the attached link for more info and good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
