I keep on having red rashes and it spreads in my body whenever i scratch it. previous doctor told me it's urticaria. what's the best thing should i do?

Dermatographic: This can best be controlled with an antihistamine- if the rash only occurs with scratching. If they are raised without having been scratched, then they are hives which likewise can usually be controlled with antihistamne 2-4 x daily.
