Body rashes

I've been suffering from body rashes from almost a year. I visited numerous doctors around 20 times regarding this condition but nothing worked so far.The rashes are small and red and all over my stomach,arms and legs.After sometime they get dried and whitish in appearance.They are itchy and I also feel loss of appetite these days.They make me feel tired and dizzy from past two three weeks.Also they get worse after coming into contact with water.I am visiting doctors continuously but their prescription is not at all helping my condition.

Hi Thanks for your query. You appear to be having a type of urticaria.Most of the time urticaria (hives)  is manifestation of an allergic reaction triggered by medications, foods, infections, certain physical agents like heat, cold, water, sun, other allergens and systemic illnesses.So the first thing in treatment of urticaria is diagnosis.  The diagnostic work-up includes blood tests, urine, stool to check for parasites, and x-rays of the chest, sinuses and teeth.  A prick or scratch test to test for airborn or food allergens is also in order. If nothing is found on the workup, then the relief is mostly symptomatic with antihistamines.
