How long does it take for an allergic reaction like hives to go away?

Allergic reactions to Meds are tricky. Obviously its best to consult a Physician ASAP for their opinion. My daughter had a reaction to ammoxicilin and it took a few days for the swelling and rash to go away. The medicine stays in your system longer then you realize. Some people need steroids to reduce swelling and an antihistamine like Benydryl. Its safe to say that you need to give it a few days for the fluid of the swelling to go away and back to normal. Keep antihistamines in your purse (or if a guy, in your pocket or vehicle at all times.) Benadryl is the best and for adults two caps (25 mgs. each) are what you should take. It takes only 10 to 15 minutes for the swelling to go down, but if you've left it for a long time it may take longer. DO NOT DRIVE A VEHICLE OR MACHINERY WHILE TAKING ANTIHISTIMINES. Benadryl is given in hospitals (I know because I had a reaction to a medication) and is harmless to you. It will probably make you sleepy.

How long does the scorpion weed rash last?

Well...it's been a full week and my legs, from ankles to knees, still look like they've been dipped into hot oil!!!  At least the dripping - ooozing has stopped and the scabbing can begin.  Get aloe vera juice in a bottle from the health store. Refrigerate it so it is very cold. Then apply to your face or wherever the rash occurs. Apply as often as needed. The juice cools the itchyness and helps dry out the rash. It takes me a week to get rid of the rash. Also take an alleergy tablet. The antihistamine helps keep it in check.

What to put on a rash around the tattoo?

Firstly you should rule out eczema. I have eczema like rashes that seem to ONLY fill in my tattoo area...Doctors have told me it is not related to the tattoo, however, I have read about people being allergic to types of ink. You will more than likely have a difficult time getting answers as tattoo shops will not provide info (or limited) and doctors seem to be less versed on these issues but do ask.

Try Tea Tree Oil. You can get this at any health food store, Walgreen's, and generally pharmacies will carry this also. It's 100% natural and has been used for generations to sooth and remedy rashes of all sorts. I also used the soap as well, although I'm not sure what good the soap did. Also, MOISTURIZE with no scents or fragrances and preferably hypoallergenic.

Hope this helps. I am not in the medical field but I came across this issue and this is what I know.

Painful sores inside nose I have had painful sores inside my nose for a few weeks now they form scabs and once I pick them off they come back more sore what are these?

Probably a staphylococcal infection -- the bacteria can usually be found under your finger nails -- or you may be a permanent "nose" carrier. I have had the same issues for many years, my mom complained about them so I figured they were hereditary.

Anyway, my primary care doctor prescribed an anti-bacterial topical cream which I use whenever they become too painful. Usually knocks them out within a few days when I use the topical 1-2 times/day.

The drug name is "Bactroban Cream."

What would cause sudden red spots to appear on your arms and torso they arent itchy but all seem to be appearing in the same places.?

A medical professional would need to diagnose the sudden appearance of red spots on the arm and torso. If the red spots are appearing in the same places, even if there is not itching, there is probably an allergic reaction to something that has been eaten or applied to the skin.

Can you get rashes from vomiting?

Yes. It isn't a rash though it is from pressure when you throw up. It can appear as small purplish red freckles or groups of them. CPAP mask wearers sometimes get it because the blood cannot flow easily because of the mask pressure so it pools around the eyes. I can't find the proper medical spelling for it but it is pronounced

"pet-TIT-ee-ah". They are akin to broken capillaries. It will pass in a day or so. No worries. It is also a symptom found in a choking or strangulation.

Radon gas itself is not known to cause skin rashes. It is a radioactive gas that can lead to health issues primarily associated with long-term exposure, such as lung cancer.

Reccuring back itch with no redness or rash should it get checked out?

So, I'm 17 and a senior in high school. I have what you would call a 'normal' stress level. I work five days a week at an ACE hardware and have a normal social life and i do average in school.On one spot on my back, a small spot near my right shoulder blade, has had an annoying itch that started about two years ago (just before i started working at ACE) and it occurs about 5-10 times a day for a short period of time.I have no allergies (except to bee's but i don't think that's relevant.) and i take adderal for my ADHD-i (ADHD-inactive). My laundry is done weekly, clothing, bedding and my work vest. And I have good hygiene and i have changed my brand of soap and shampoo&conditioner several times in hopes that they might be the cause.What I would like to know is: should i get it looked at by my doctor? Does anyone have an idea what might be causing it?

What does it mean when you have a small cluster 4 or 5 of little bumps on your penis. The bumps are in the middle not close to the bottom or near the head any ideas?

I would highly suggest you see a doctor. I know someone who had bumps in clusters in different areas of his penis and it was genital warts. They need to be removed or you will spread them to anyone you have sex with. The pictures online are not always what they look like. Believe me, bumps should not be on your penis so I would get it checked out asap. Better to be safe than sorry. Good luck!!


The prior answer was pretty correct, but think about this, there have been millions of dollars made from the sale of french tickler condoms, but with these bumps you are already ribbed for her pleasure.

Why does your arm get red and shake when im eating lady bugs?

There might have been a bacteria or something of the like in it that you might be having an allergic reaction to.

It is possible that the dirt you were gathering contained ants or some other type of insect and they crawled on your arm biting and irritating your skin. It also may be a form of contact dermatitis from touching something in the dirt and scratching your arm. Eating dirt is not as uncommon as you might think but gathering it from just anywhere is not safe. Pica (eating inedible objects) specifically geophagia (eating dirt) can be medically managed and I would suggest (until you speak with your physician about this) you should purchase sterilized earth from a garden center. Please seek help from you doctor or clinic ASAP as Pica is often manifested during pregnancy.
