Suggest Treatment For Severe Skin Rash
![default](/r/images/default.png)
Appearance: marks covering the skin, they look like little round bumps but vary in size and are not raised. They cover my arms, stomach, back, and legs but so far haven't spread to my feet, hands, or face. In certain spots they seem to form together. They sometimes seem to flare up into a bright red or completely fade almost back to my normal skin color.
Symptoms: occasional itchiness, no pain, occasional flaking.
More details will help a lot

Hello My Dear
Welcome. I am Dr V XXXXXXX a Sr Dermatologist.
I have gone through the details and I will do whatever is possible to help you. For now, I need more information to know better about your skin condition.
Pl send back the information on following points
1 In which climate the rash began
2 What did it look like when it started and from which body areas did it start
3 When did it start, month and year
4 Any change in symptom between the start and now
5 Relationship with time of the day o night/activities/ exercise/ occupational, medicine use
6 Few pics showing the shape of recent lesions

For the time being, one may consider using a moisturizer and take Levocetrizine 5 mg which is an antiallergic.
Awaiting further information.

2. It looks similar as now (see pic attached) just less spread and in smaller patches. It started on my chest, worked its way down to my stomach and around my shoulders, arms, and back. Recently it spread to my legs, only going to the knee
3. Not to proud of how long I've had it without serking further attention. I believe it was a summer month in 2014
4. The symptoms are near the same, just more marks and my skin is dry more so than when it began
5. It seems to turn more read while in the shower, though this isnt always the case. Its often brighter in the winter as well.

7 Cigarretts, mairjuana, anxiety problems with a family history ( not prescribed anything for them)
Please excuse my spelling errors, auto correct has spoiled me..
Useful additional information
Detailed Answer:
Dear
Welcome back
Additional details have helped to narrow down the causes.
I am advising certain measures hereunder which will help you in getting a relief.
If you have any reports done in the past month or so and pertaining to CBC, skin scrapings for fungus, a skin biopsy, or other blood reports, then please send them across. It is possible that such reports might prove useful while we continue with the suggested measures suitable for anyone with similar profile and details
1 Please keep the areas affected well cleaned using plain water and avoiding soaps, deos for the time being.
2 Apply hydrocortisone cream thrice daily with occasional use of cold cream.
3 Just one tab of Levocetrizine or comparable antiallergic per day, preferably at night
4 Fur containing dresses should ideally not come in direct contact with skin
5 Adequate sleep, balanced diet, and positive mental attitude will aid in recovery.
I would be glad to see you recover soon. Let me know if you have more questions.
Best wishes.
