is this hives or is an insect bite?

[twinsetandpearls]

I am very hot and stressed, have just been for a lie down upstairs.

Was suddenly aware my leg was itching. Scratched it and noticed red rashes my legs with a raised area but no clear bite mark. The red rashy ares are very hot to touch.

Can I bought out in hives as a reaction to stress and over tiredness or has something bitten me?

I am here itching and scratching and it is not lady like!

Hives look like you've been stung by a nettle. Could it be heat rash?

Yes it looks like I have been stung by a nettle.

I will look at a picture of a heat rash?

I was having a paranoid bed bug moment.

The position is right for a heat rash as it is behind the kness so where you would get hot but are the big bumps right?

read hns direct and it sounds exactly like a heat rash, I am such a wuss!

I have some diprobase cream and piriton will that make it go away?

Piriton will. Diprobase might.

Be prepared to be knocked out by Piriton. I once took some and didn't wake up for WEEKS.

I suffer from hives as an allergic reaction - if i touch any lanolin-including cream.

If it is allergic it will probably affect more of your body then just behind your knee - sounds like a heat reaction if that is all youhave.

If I touch a lanlin cream, or nettles (another alergy) then I come out in hives not jsut where I touched it but all over and need antihisthamines and creams to cool it down - and twice have ended up in casualty needing adrenaline. If it is an allergy, you know all about it!

Thanks.
