Sore red marks
I keep randomly getting red marks over my knees - bright red, they are really hot and itchy. I've tried to find a pattern of when it happens to find out why but there isn't one.
I also get red rash looking marks all over my legs and arms and sometimes my face when I shower.
What could this be?

You are probably suffering from what Dermatologist call urticaria. 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 symptomatically 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. Hives on contact with water is called cold urticaria.
