Hi I have been suffering with a rash similiar in everyway to look at that is to Urticaria only this rash stays for upto 10 – 14 days is extreme in appearance and my skin feels like it’s burning as well as really itchy. I have been to specialist (dematologists ) and various doctors when the outbreaks are severe, I even had one bi-opsied incase it was Lupus which come back inconclusive. No one not even the Dematologists can tell me what they are. When I get them I get a cough with them as well and my throat feels slightly swallow and my breathing is affected slighlty. Does anyone have an idea on what they are. I do believe they are stress related and in my family there are auto-immune disease, such as scleraderma and addison desease. Any ideas anyone???
