Itching and redness on legs and hands
Hello doctor. I am having an allergy whenever i eat vegetables like raddish and brinjal and recently I am getting it if I eat other vegetables which I have not yet found. I am not allergic to nuts, milk and eggs. The allergies are small red patches that i can see on legs and hands which itches a lot and also it is red. If i apply pressure on that patch it turns white. Sometimes the swelling is internal, sometimes it is external. I am also trying to conceive now, will this allergys cause issues.

You are probably suffering from what Dermatologist call urticaria. Common causes are food allergy, infection or drugs taken for some condition. It presents with itching resulting in formation of red rashes which we call hives or wheals. Although in most cases cause remains unknown in spite of a thorough search. It can be treated with medicines so that you do not get any new hives. The treatment should be prolonged until it resolves which usually takes 1 to 6 months. Please call me or contact me through online consult option for further details and treatment..
