Hello,
Painful swelling and rashes in the body may be due to allergy to food or latex,
contact dermatitis, hives or Shingles caused by HPV. If sexually active you should get tested for STI, if tests are positive for varicella
zoster virus, you need antibiotics and antivirals. You can apply ointments containing lidocaine (cream, gel, patch or spray) and take Neurontin (
Gabapentin), to ease the pain and discomfort.
You are suggested to get clinically examined by a
dermatologist and get treated at the earliest. Elica m cream, is effective for the treatment of fungal & bacterial infections, vaginal
yeast infections, etc. The side effects in some not all is rash, inflammation or itching or the skin, headache, skin discoloration, etc.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
