Suggest Treatment For An Itchy Rash Near Eye,lip And Stomach
I have a itchy rash that started with a small itchy spot on my face near my eye. I had some spots on my stomach, butt, and waist. They are not filled with fluid. I was treated with antiviral and steriod pills. The swelling and rash on my face went away, however, it returned a month later near my eye, lip, and stomach. I am once again on antiviral meds and predisone but I continue to scratch.

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy rash near eye,lip and stomach which seems to be due to angioedema and because of herpes simplex virus infection as it attacks once immunity of body is poor. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit dermatologist or oral physician once and get it examined properly. Go for skin allergy testing to find proper diagnosis. Start with antiviral and steroid eye drops combination is very effective for subsiding lesions. Take multivitamin tablet rich in vitamin B12. Apply lip balm to keep it moisturized always. Apply Zovirax ointment on these rashes and drink plenty of fluids. Ice pack will give immediate effects
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
