I am a 21 (almost 22) yr. old white female who has been suffering from really strange welts for years. They randomly appear and no matter where I have lived they are always there, I know these are not bedbug bites. They start out looking like mosquito bites but soon they swell and spread to about the size of my hand or even bigger. They are flesh colored and red around the edges and last for hours. Then I may not get them for months. Right now I have 5 of these monsters , 2 on my hips 2 on my chest, and 1 on the back of my thigh. I am just now recovering from a stomach virus and I read online that sometimes viruses can cause welts but I have been getting these for years so I really have no idea what they are! I am going to my doctor in a few days but I am just curious to see if anyone else has had this issue because I can't find anything.
I've just recently began getting these same symptoms. As well as swelling in the face and feet. It has been awful. I've been afraid to touch my family and I feel like a freak. I have been reading a ton of posts from people with the same and there seems to be a major connection to Candida and Yeast. I am going to the Doc this morning and I am sure he will put me back on Prednisone which will work but the symptoms will begin immediately when the pills end. I am SO bummed out by this, I am a healthy 38 yr old Man and I have never had any health problems... this reminds me of having poison ivy when I was young which was terrible but you knew it would go away. The more I read the more I realize there are a lot of people suffering and without any help from the medical community. Good luck everyone.
what was the response from your visitation to the doctor may i ask? I know this was about a year ago...
