Yesterday afternoon on 06Feb2021, patient's back started itching so bad and was around the house doing things and felt why the patient itching so bad, it must be dry skin. After an hour, patient went into the bathroom and raised the shirt and saw the back was getting red and it was itching and felt like it was burning. In about 2 hours time, patient's entire torso, from chin to waist, front and back, was covered in a rash just like a prickly rash. Patient was up all night long and can't lie down because when if the patient lies down, the heat, pressure was applied. Patient called a druggist and was told to get some Benadryl until patient can get some more information.

Patient got an appointment on the morning of 07Feb2021, in one of the clinics and they did a complete work up and asked all kinds of questions about allergies and having been in contact with other things or change in the lotions or perfumes or towels or sheets or new clothes and there was nothing. There was absolutely nothing that has changed in the patient's life, it just started yesterday on 06Feb2021. So, physician gave two different prescriptions and told patient to try put some cold compresses on it because of the swelling and the itchiness and try to get in the coolest shower, and to start the meds. Patient have taken them one time and was told that if there was no good change in a day or two, to go to the regular Primary Care Doctor for him to do other work.
