You should get yourself checked out by a doctor.





I suffer from multiple allergies and this sounds exactly like what I have now - several years ago I suddenly started getting itchy rashes on my neck, upper arms, chest and upper back. Then the rashes went to my face!





I tried noni pills (made from the Hawaiian noni fruit) and they helped somewhat - the rashes have stopped appearing on my arms, neck and back. However, the rash on my face still won't go away.





I am now using a cream called "DERMOVATE" for this condition. However it has to be prescribed as it's a steroid cream. This is why I encourage you to see a doctor to get yourself checked out. You might even discover what exactly it is in your environment that is causing the allergy.





And yes, it's probably an allergy, or a buildup of toxins in your system that is causing your immune system to react this way (i.e. rashes).





The condition is called "cholinergic urticaria". In 70% of the cases, the cause is never found out, but still, it's worth a try. You can get a patch test done by an allergy specialist, which is what I'm doing now.





If you leave it unchecked, your condition could get worse. In my case, I was hospitalised just a couple of weeks ago because I got a sudden bout of asthma coupled with severe rashes and facial swelling. Until now, I don't even know what caused it.
