Weird lump red Rash which itches....ADVISE / HELP?

Question

On monday morning, I work up with a bad rash all over my body. It was Lumpy and itched real bad. It was on my arms, legs, tummy

I made an appointment to see my dr at mid-day, but by then, the rash had pretty much disappeared. He said there wasnt much he could do as there wasnt anything there, but did give me some cream for the itching.

A couple of hours later, the rash reappeared again, lumpy and bumpy for a few hours before disappearing again before bed.

Same thing on tuesday, the rash was there first thing in the morning, but not for long. then reappeared again in the evening, not as bad and not for as long.

On wednesday, there was no rash in the morning, but did appear a little bit in the afternoon. no where near as bad, but was still visable.

Today, Thurday, there has been no rash YET, appart from a couple of red dots on the palm of my had which have already gone.... but I feel dizzy and lightheaded.

What is this. Im starting to get a bit concerned... I think it might be hives but Im not sure.

Please, if anyone has had the same sort of thing, or know what it is, please help.

Thanks

Urticaria (or hives) is a skin condition, commonly caused by an allergic reaction, that is characterized by raised red skin wheals (welts). It is also known as nettle rash or uredo. Wheals from urticaria can appear anywhere on the body, including the face, lips, tongue, throat, and ears. The wheals may vary in size from about 5 mm (0.2 inches) in diameter to the size of a dinner plate; they typically itch severely, sting, or burn, and often have a pale border. Urticaria is generally caused by direct contact with an allergenic substance, or an immune response to food or some other allergen, but can also appear for other reasons, notably emotional stress. The rash can be triggered by quite innocent events, such as mere rubbing or exposure to cold.
