Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of rashes throughout the body which seems to be due to contact dermatitis, eczema and due to allergic reaction.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper personal hygiene and take zyrtec one a day and apply cold compresses to reduce the itchiness and inflammation. avoid touching or pricking rashes throughout body. Consult dermatologist for proper examination Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test , test for allergy and physical examination. Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid ointment , antibiotics , anti inflammatory and immunosuppressants .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
