Sorry to do this to you guys, but I have a medical question.

Asked by nikipedia (28072points) September 12th, 2012

I promise I will go to a doctor if this gets worse or doesn’t clear up in a few days. In the meantime, google hasn’t turned up much useful information, so I thought I’d see if any of you had an answer.

Last night shortly before bed I noticed a mild rash on my abdomen. It was pale red and a little bit itchy, and I noticed it got much redder and raised where I scratched it. I took a benadryl and went to bed.

This morning it seems considerably worse. It has spread in all directions, onto my back, legs, and arms. It is still fairly mild, a little bit itchy but not too bad, and a little bit red but not too scary.

Although it came on shortly after dinner, dinner was tacos from a taco place I’ve eaten a hundred times. I have not tried any new foods, activities, soaps, lotions, detergents, or anything else that I can think of lately. I did spend a good amount of time pulling weeds and dealing with my yard last Saturday and Sunday, so I guess there’s an outside chance that could be related.

Any other guesses? And if no solutions come up here, how long should I give it before I make a doctor’s appointment?
