It could be from eczema, nerves, jaundice, leukemia.......or just a simple allergy to chemicals.

You can have yourself checked for jaundice by a simple blood test. Benedryl isn't going to help you in this instance.

It is important to go to a doctor (probably a dermatologist) to be diagnosed if you do not have some sort of toxic problems with your blood, which is more serious and you should have checked first. A dermatologist will be able to give you an effective treatment if it is only a topical problem.

Baby powder isn't going to hurt you, but you might need moisture more than something that is drying.

You REALLY need to call someone NOW....make an appointment. This is not anxiety but a real skin condition.

The Latrix works for hives. It takes eight days but it works like a gem. The Docs they dont understand this but latrix dose.
