Suggest Treatment For Whole Body Rash After Smoking An E-cigarette
Question: I have what I think is a whole body rash from a propylene glycol allergy from my e-cig. Haven't used it in 2 days and the rash is not subsiding at all. My skin is so red, irritated and dry and itches so badly sometimes that it weeps. How long will this take to clear and why does it weep? What is the best natural approach? I have no health insurance and not a lot of money.
Brief Answer:
Try out cetirizine tablet first. If not relieved, visit a doctor.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I understand your situation. The first thing that I would suggest is to take the over the counter antiallergic medicine cetirizine once a day for 3 days and see if you get relief. If the condition does not improve or if it worsens instead, you would need to see a doctor.
Ideally, I should have insisted you to visit a doctor right away.
Hope that helps.
