I’ve got this rash for 10 day now. Started after I slept in a different room than usual, for around 4-5 days. After that, I’ve been sleeping in my usual bed, but this doesn’t seem to go away. It’s incredibly itchy and gets worse at night.

I’m taking Montair LC since 3 days, but it doesn’t help. Last time I got such a rash was 5 years ago. Doctor diagnosed it as giant urticaria and prescribed me an antihistamine and a steroid.

I’m skeptical about starting the steroid again. Don’t want all the side effects. Should I get allergy testing?

I get these randomly, maybe when it’s hot or I’m stressed. Not really associated with sweat. They’re so itchy. Is this cholinergic urticaria?
