Hives, rash, now in shape of ring--doctor doesn't know what it is.

[Guest guest]

Hi again everyone,

I wanted to share my day and see if anyone has insight.

My husband woke yesterday with " hives " on the back of his knee that looked

like lots of bug bites. By the end of the day yesterday they were

everywhere. Today he woke with his hands very swollen and the hives were now

rings. That is a welt with the center white and a red ring. I insisted he

go to the doctor. To make this short, they basically took blood work and

said they do not know what is going on.

For those thinking ring worm, I questioned it since he has atheletes feet

really bad on one foot. I was told no because the rash spread too fast.

Anyone else experience these type of hives? Do you know what caused it? As

much as the doctor didn't want to believe me it could be related to his

gluten issues, I really think it is. Can anyone back me up with personal

experience? When I looked up DH/Celiac the rash described was more like the

cracking and bleeding he used to get on his hands.Not these ring shaped

things.

I've got to go and work on reminding God He has me confused with someone

else these days. This is all more than I can handle.

I second the Lyme Disease possibility!

Thank you everyone for your replies. As far as the guess for Lyme Disease,

NOPE! There is no center bulls eye and the welts are not perfect circles

any longer. Infact last night they looked as if they were going away and now

today they are coming back more and larger! The doctor said it is not

ringworm. I'm not sure why she said that it is not. I think it was because

it spread so fast.

My guess is it is definitely a reaction to something or it could be

associated with the fungal issues of his foot. He has a really bad case of

atheletes foot on one foot.

Pitoriasis ica ??? I'm going to see if I can find anything on this. We

are still looking. I guess he will need to call a skin doctor tomorrow.

Thanks for thoughts.
