How Can An Itchy Rash Around The Waist Be Treated?
I have a rash. It appears as if I am sun burned. It itches and radiates a lot of heat. It is mainly around my waist down my legs and under my arms and wrists. I am using Benadryl tablets and Benadryl spray to try to control the itch. I am having chills constantly. It feels better when I place ice packs to the area.

Usually sunburn is not been over covered area. Sunburn looking lesions may be of Eczema/lichen simplex/psoriasis/sarcoid and many more. So better not to treat it by yourself. Please visit a dermatologist for better care.
