Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe body rash which seems to be due to allergic reaction of body. It could be due to allergic reaction to certain allergens and contact dermatitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to to apply cold compresses. You should take antihistamine like benadryl and keep yourself hydrated by drinking lot of fluid. you should avoid touching or pricking rashes on body. If condition doesn't get improve or get worse then consult allergy specialist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may treat with epinephrine (adrenaline), either self-injected or administered by a doctor. Usually, this injection will stop the development of a more severe allergic reaction.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
