Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have recently come down with a rash and it has now spread to most of my body. My family doctor has taken me off of Cipro which I started taking Oct 29th for UTI. I started getting a rash in my hair and on my back on Nov 7th.My Doctor Prescribed prednisone, two tabs per morning, then one Zyrtec and also oral Benadryl tablets every 4 to 6 hours. Those did not keep it from spreading so on Monday, Nov 10th she prescribed a steroid shot which I had about 10 this morning. It seemed the itching subsided and the redness began to decrease. She also told me to go back to all my other medications which also included Invokana for dibetes 2. I had not taken any of them since Friday morning, they include Levothyroxin and Symvastatin as well as the new on Invokana. Tonite about 7 pm the itching increased and darkened in redness. Can you help me with what else can be done to take away this itching and spread of this rash. I can't sleep and I don't want to scratch myself raw. I don't plan on taking invokan in the morning either.
