Can allergic reaction cause bumps on face, neck and fingers?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Yesterday, I woke up with bumps on my face and neck. It started off small and it was really itchy, so I itched the bumps and they started to get bigger. I washed my hands after and got some cream to stop it from itching. Later on, more bumps started to appear after itching myself and it is on my fingers and the back of my neck, and I have no idea what I have and it is hard to find treatments without knowing what it is. I do have a feeling it is an allergic reaction since I ate a whole packet of sweets and it had a weird texture to it.

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is urticaria and you are right it is an allergic reaction. Urticaria can be due to drugs, any food material to which your body is allergic. You have to keenly observe and note the things that can flare it up or cause it. Do not worry. You will get better with proper treatment and medication.

Treatment plan

Apply Betamethasone propionate lotion, mix with Calamine lotion twice daily over the lesions. Take antihistamine twice daily like Loratidine 20 mg. Avoid things that flare it up. Do not eat food from outside the home.

Preventive measures

Maintain hygiene of area, wash with soap and water, avoid using Dettol and other irritants.
