Red Rashes On Body, Except On Face, Private Parts. Taking Benadryl, Kenalog, Cirtizone Cream, Same. Suggestion?
I have a red rash on my body except for my face an private parts. I have not changed anything or ate anything different. I have been taking Benadryl for 3 days and it is not itching quiet as bad and I have been using kenalog and cirtizone cream. It does not seem to be getting any better. It is really red in splotches but it does not hurt so I know it is not shingles. I am a 53 male. Should I see a doctor or see if I can wait it out. Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
this looks like urticaria
take atarax 1 tablet twice daily
apply calmine lotion locally
if no improvement within 4-5 days you may consult a dermatologist
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
