Red Patches In Body, Itching. Applying Bendaryl

For about 2 weeks I keep having a red patch followed but itching. It only appears on my body. My neck and back mostly. I was doing laundry and all the sudden I felt the itch coming on. I told my husband to come quick and take a look before I start scratching. All that was there was a big red patch on the top part of my back. He scratched it for me and put benadril on it and it stopped. Then all of the sudden while we were still in the bathroom I got another one on my front shoulder. This is weird what is going on.

Hello,
Thanks for writing to HCM
I have read your question,
symptoms have stated above seem to be of certain allergic reaction for something, you have not written anything about your medical history and if you are taking any other medicines lately,
Bendaryl is an antiallergic Hence it could have reduced the effect,
I suggest you to consult a dermatologist nearby and take further medication, and also describe your complete medical history to the doctor,ing antihistamines can also reduce the allergic reaction.

Wishing you a good health,
Dr. K. Sanga Reddy
