Patient: My daughter is 16, she was laying in the grass with shorts on and about an hour later developed a rash on her thighs and arms (looks like an allergic reaction rash) that itches and burns. She washed her thighs with technu extreme medicated scrub and I gave her one tablet of Benadryl and the rash redness seemed to subside but she said she was feeling pain in her ankle and wrist joints.  I asked if she had been in the woods, and she was yesterday. She has no rash on her stomach, and the joint pain just started after this rash occurred from being in the grass. Doctor: hi,  your problem is the ankle and wrist pain is from allergic reaction ? no this one is not from allergic reaction, is may be due to any other reason, like any injury may be lite, muscular sprain by any reason like fast running etc,. and the skin problem of allergic reaction it will subside within short time. by the medicine which you have been taken so don't worry.   and if the pain is more then taken painkiller O.T.C. product. or consult the orthopedic doctor.get well soon.
