Suggest Remedy For The Itchy Rash All Over The Body

I have a itchy rash that started 3 weeks ago. I was treated with an antibiotic and steroids the first week then after the steroids the rash came back worse. I took another round of steroids and am through and the rash is coming back. It is all over my body.

Hi,

You seem to be having hives/urticaria. Common infections (viral flu, sore throat, dental infection etc), drugs/medications, food and food preservatives are some of the important causes. Alcohol too can cause Hives.

I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g. Tab Cetirizine for a few days. In addition I suggest you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion to calm down the rashes.

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