How can i tell the difference between a rash or allergic reactions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lots of Rashes: A rash or hives secondary to an allergic reaction is associated with a trigger like food or drug ingestion, bee sting, etc. Hives are acute, red, raised, and itchy lesions. There are also contact rashes that are red and raised as well but have a more vesicular appearance and last longer than acute hives. Take a picture of your rash and have an Allergist examine you and discuss clinical course.
