Suggest Treatment For Itchy Spots On The Body

i ve broken out in itchy bumpy red spots all over my arms legs and back, it has been since thursday. I was initially told it was chicken pox and given calamine lotion. This did not help. I was in hospital on Saturday, told it was an allergic skin reaction and given chlorphenamine and told if that did not work to take the cetirizine they gave me. it is not helping and i now have more spots on my hands and feet. I do not know what to do. I have no known allergies and I feel extremely depressed by this condition. Please help.

Hi,

You rash could be due to a condition called papular urticaria. Chicken pox is usually associated with fever and lasts for few weeks and it is self limiting. The rash could also be due to excessive heat (Miliaria). So, you need proper clinical examination for arriving at a final diagnosis. For that, I request you to visit your nearby Dermatologist.

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