My mum has had a rash on her skin for a few weeks now. It started on her legs and has spread to the stomach, buttocks, chest and breasts. It is not on her arms or back which is why we are led to believe that it is not an allergy for something on the outside e.g. clothing, bedding etc.
The area is not red, although is after scratching, naturally. There are many small 1-2mm ish spots all over but there are no obvious patterns or surroundings to the spots, or pimples
She is reluctant to try cream because of the large surface area and anti-histamines have failed. We convinced her to go the doctor today and he has no idea so he has taken some blood. I am quite the worrier so would be grateful for some knowledgable reassurance. Is blood testing the routine route for allergy testing? Do any of you have any experience? Are any of you doctors or dematologists?
It is very itchy and is causing a great deal of discomfort. However tender, there is no pain (as such). Thanks again..
