Hi, I got a rash about 10 days ago. It started out with just a few welts around my chest and stomach but soon spread here, there and everywhere. I started having blue berry smoothies everyday for about 6 days and then I thought it must be them causing the rash so I stopped and took antihistamines. The rash is starting to dry up but I have new spots appearing. Why are they still coming even though Im not eating the berries. Its been over a week now. Im worried now as I googled it ( i know ) and it said that some cancers cause a rash. Has anyone got a rash just from anxiety. Mine vary in size. Some huge and others like dots. Mainly on my torso. :scared15:

I don't think its anything too fatal, as you've had it for 10 days and its starting to dry up.

However, I'd have a chat with your doctor anyway, because it may be an allergy to the berries, or to something else. I know that viral rashes are common as well, and can look very alarming but arn't serious, I had a mild one once.

I have had a rash like this back in May - it was called Pityriosis rosea - you could try googling that and seeing if it matches what you have...dont worry about it, stress does make your skin do awful things!

It could be urticaria, which is like an allergic ash, but often has no known cuase - helpful, eh! It is often stress related and causes sometimes quite large red, itchy welts acros the body. I find Eurax cream helps mine and anthisan.

I had this over the summer and it drove me mad. I thought it was honey then vitamins then hormones, then I put on medicated lotion and went into the sun and it not only changed (went from bigger bumps to little ones) but it spread too. I FREAKED! Went to the Dr. and had to get a steroid shot.....the rash went away but that shot caused about 4 other things that freaked me out. No fun! I am sorry.....you just have to let these things take their course. You may want to go to the Dr not because it is major but to get some refief.
