What could cause rashes,swelling and itchiness on legs & hands?
Patient: All of a sudden today I got a rash. My legs got itchy and red and blotchy. It went away shortly then came back later. Also my hands and feet got really red and almost swollen and itchy with hive like bumps. It went away also then came back and went away. What is going on?! Doctor: HIGreetings from Dr.Divakara.PThanks for posting your query.      You seem to be having an allergic reaction to something. That something could be due to food, drinks , medications or cosmetics .    Just check whether there was anything usual in your food or drink intake or are you taking any medications recently or changed your cosmetics recently ?    Kindly let me know these details .   You can use calamine lotions 2 times a day and if problem persists ask your doctor for a prescription for Anti-histaminic drugs , that will give you good relief. Ragards.
