Suggest Cure For Itchy Rash Spreading All Over The Body

I took my 15 year old son to the dr over a week ago. He had an itchy rash in the groin area that was spreading to his thighs and stomach. The dr gave him an antibiotic. It has now spread to his arms, legs, and sometimes it wil appear on other areas of his body such as his neck and then disappear within an hour or so

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If the rash disappears and reappears, it most probably could be Urticaria. Apply Calamine lotion and take Levocetrizine tablets. Please try to find the cause for the urticaria. Common causes are food and drugs. Rule out the cause and avoid the causative factor. If you do not get relief, do Consult your Dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
