Suggest Remedies For Itchy Red Rashes On Head, Arms And Behind The Legs
I broke out with a red rash. I have it on my head, arms,back of my legs from the hip to my knees. I ve been to the doctors twice and all she did was give me a cream to put on it. It does not seem to be helping. One doctor put me on perdizone and it helped,but with in a week the raid was back. It gets very itchy. Any think I could put on it to get rid of it?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy red rashes on head, arms and behind the legs which seems to be due to contact dermatitis. Need not to worry. You should avoid wearing tight and synthetic clothes.
Apply calamine lotion on these rashes. Avoid itching and pricking rashes. If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment.
Doctor may order certain test to confirm the diagnosis and may prescribe immunosuppressants along with anti inflammatory medications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
