Suggest Treatment For Itchy Red Rashes On The Body
Question: I am a 59 year old female and I have an itch that started about 4 days ago and has continued to worsen and I now have red blotchy skin. Antihistamines don't seem to help
Brief Answer:
Likely to be due to a fungal infection. Please upload an image.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. You possibly have a fungal infection. Application of clotrimazole powder or lotion topically should provide relief. It is advisable to continue some antiallergic like cetirizine or benadryl for a few more days.
I would insist you to upload an image of the affected area. It will enable me to comment better on your situation and to guide you accordingly.
I will wait for your response.
