Hello,
Thanks for the query

You have developed an allergic reaction to the new drug,

Apply a mild steroid lotion like desonide,

Also take an antihistamine tablet.

This will give you some relief.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.

Hi itchy arms and legs .chest and bsck can be drug induced but usually drug rash will be on abdomen.firt stop the drug used and use of atarax 25 mg at night.antibiotic twice daily and application of calamine lotion in the morning and moisteriser along with flucort cream in the night can cure the condition.
If no response go for oral steriods for a short period
