Suggest An Alternative Treatment For Itchy Rashes On My Back And Arms
I have a itchy rash on my back and arms. I had a steroid shot in my cervical epidural spine last Thursday. Then I went to my sisters and worked in her yard for several days. On July third I thought I had a sign burn the next day it turned into a rash located in the center of my upper back and my forearms. I went Wednesday morning to my internist. She gave me a steroid shot, a prescription for prednisone 20mg 1 for 5 days. Now it is worse and spreading up and down my arms. Just left on vacation to Louisiana today. Miserable and itchy.

Suggest An Alternative Treatment For Itchy Rashes On My Back And Arms
Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction. I suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application. I also suggest to continue using Prednisone as prescribed by your doctor to relieve the symptoms. Cold compresses can also be very helpful. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi General & Family Physician
