I've had these symptoms for three weeks now and I haven't been taking any medication during that time. I feel like my surgeon is unsure of the cause. I'm experiencing welts from my scalp to my toes throughout the day. I've been using lotions and antihistamines, but they're not providing much relief. I'm really scared that I'll have to deal with this issue permanently. Any ideas about what might be causing this? I've never had an allergic reaction to anything before.
Hives are typically an allergic reaction to antibiotics, and discontinuing the medication is usually sufficient for treatment. In severe cases, a short course of oral steroids may be necessary.
I agree with the other surgeons that it is most likely an allergic reaction to an antibiotic, pain medication, or contact dermatitis from your garment or another substance your body came into contact with. If oral or topical antihistamines are not providing relief, it may be beneficial to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
Total body uterica (uterine prolapse) is a very rare event. It is recommended to seek an in-person consultation for a proper diagnosis and possible treatment options, such as IV steroid therapy.
Skin reactions and symptoms should be discussed with the surgeon to determine if it's a medication reaction or contact with an irritant. Recent changes in lotions, perfumes, detergents, etc. should also be considered.
