what would cause your skin to look sunburned and welps all over it with itching, suddenly?

Question

I am watching tv one minute and the next minute my whole body turns red, what would cause this, I am scared.

Okay, thank goodness, I am not dying, it has gone away.

I don't know what would have caused an allergic reaction, I was eating M&M's, hmmmm, but I ate some lastnight too.

It was definately weird.

Thanks for your answers, it calmed my nerves, I thought I was dying.

Answer 1

Sounds like some type of autoimmune response like an allergic reaction. Your body was responding to something in your environment--did you eat or drink anything; apply a lotion or perfume, pet a dog or cat? You may need to see a doctor/allergist to determine the cause.

Answer 2

Sounds like an allergy to something you are in contact with...cat...dog...something in the air. Did you eat or drink anything new...spicy food... Try and drink a lot of water to dilute and flush this out of your system, and try a bath with baking soda to calm your skin. It should go away soon, but if not by morning, see a doctor. Best wishes

Answer 3

allergic reactions to something, take some benadryll and see if that helps. sudden rashes that look like sunburns can also be an early sign of tss, do u have a fever? if yes see a doctor
