Poison Like Rash?

I have little bumps that look like a rash that you would get if you had poison ivy? there is no way i have poison because i was no where around it. the spots just itch a little bit and bleed. there not every where just my arm wrist and a spot on my one hip and thigh.. could it be a food allergy? i am breastfeeding my daugther and cant take benadryl what can i put on it to clear it up?

You’re probably allergic to something. It could be food, or soap, or anything really, but if you don’t know what’s causing it, theres not really a whole lot you can do.

Any kind of antihistamin will help, I think. Since you can’t take benadryl, I think you should take a shower, that sometimes helps depending on what’s causing the hives, like if it’s a soap or lotion. Change your clothes, and try not to scratch.

If you start getting unable to breath, see a doctor right away, and take some benadryl, because it’s better than dying, even if you have to feed your kid canned milk.

If you’ve been exposed to anything that you’re not used to that could be causing it, any kind of new food, soap, detergent, lotion, things in the air, even certain fabrics can do it.
