Posted on Fri, 11 Sep 2020

Question: I have (itchy) rashes all over my body. The skin has become hard after scratching repeatedly. This keeps happening every now and then, and I was prescribed an ointment and a tablet, the prescriptions and names for both of which I’ve lost.
It’s currently spreading slowly. Please do let me know what more information you need to help diagnose.

Brief Answer:
eczematous dermatitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thank you.
It seems like an eczematous rash. I suggest you to use a topical potent steroid cream e.g either clobetasol propionate 0.05% cream or halobetasol propionate 0.05% cream, twice daily for a few day. These are prescription topical steroid. In addition to that I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g tablet cetrizine 10mg once a day for a few days.
Take care
