Rash Spreading Throughout Body, Itching, Pus Oozing. Remedy?
I have a rash that keeps spreading to other parts of my body and I have tried so many different creams and washes and nothing is stopping the itch, pain, burning, redness, oozing of this rash. I work outside and may have been exposed to a poisonous plant. I wear heavy work clothes and sweat a lot which irritates the rash further. Taking a shower is very painful to the rash.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As you mentioned in your query all these symptoms may be due to .
1 Contact dermatitis with poisonous material as you mentioned in your query.
Diagnosis can be confirmed with the help of biopsy of the blistering rashes by a dermatologist.
2 Pemphigus vulgaris may be due to antidermal antibodies inducing blistering skin disease . Get in blood for c b c & e s r ( if very high may be the cause). Consult a dermatologist and get his opinion.
3 Scabies this also causes rash ( mild ) with itching and pus formation . Diagnosis can be confirmed by dermatologist with physical examination as well as clinical history.
In my opinion consult a dermatologist and get his help.
Good luck. Dr. HET
