Suggest Remedy For Itchy Rashes

I have a nasty case of Red Man s disease…just came up today after a 10 year absence…can t sleep…itching like crazy, head warm…any short term solution for some comfort? I took 75 mg of benedryl at 7:30 pm/11 pm/ and 1:30 am…no luck yet. Any suggestions would be a godsend.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
It may be due to some allergic reactions. If you have allergic history to anything please avoid that. You have not mentioned whether you are using any medications before the symptoms occur. It may be due to drug reactions too. There is also a chance of dermatological infections which can not be diagnosed by not seeing the rashes.
You may get help from some anti histaminic medications like tab levocetrizine 10mg or inj promethazine. Its recommended to visit a doctor if the symptoms persist or rather increasing to get a proper diagnosis.
