Itching welts?

whenever something brushes against my skin it turns into red bumpy welts that last hours. the itching has been driving me crazy for weeks. i have an autoimmune disease and i'm guessing it has a lot to do with this. i'm unable to see a doctor until mid march. i understand i need to see a doctor but in the meantime, would any of you know creams or remedies that could help? or even better, what could be this skin problem that i have?

ice helps, but hydrocortizone cream and lotions don't at all.

Re: comment#3: My doctor is 5 states away and that's the only place where they accept my health insurance.

Use oral benadryl until you see the doctor.

you could use some itching cream!it helps or you could take a potato and micrawave it and wrap a paper towel around it then set it over the parts that itch and are red!or dont brush against stuff jking *humor*

I really dont understand why you can't see a doctor until mid March.
If you are really bothered about it why not go to A&E?
