[|Human|] I have a rash which is getting worse. It started on my hands causing them to swell and is now moving all over my body. It is extremely itchy. I find I am having night sweats, a headache and generally not feeling well. Have had a spinal tap a while back when I had the sane symptoms with negative results. Would like to know what it is. Nothing s has changed in my life
[|AI|]  Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. It difficult to point exact diagnosis without examination. It seems like you are having urticaria secondary to some infection. Urticaria or hives is an allergic manifestation of skin, where an allergen leads to release of certain substances from your blood, leading to itchy skin rash and swelling over soft tissues. Its proper management requires thorough history, clinical and laboratory work-up. You may have to go for specific tests like patch test, food prick test, IGE antibody levels etc. As for treatment part, best would be the avoidance of allergen as far as possible. Try to eliminate possible triggering foods from diet. I would also advise you various antihistamines for long duration(at least 3 months) with or without oral corticosteroids. For non-responding cases there are many other Chat Doctor.  Hope this will help you in resolving your query. Thank you
