Suggest Treatment For Persistent Allergic Rashes

Hope you can help I am beyond frustrated. Have had what s been described as me as a hive like rash on various parts of my body for over two months now. Prednisones seems to keep gone or at bay depending on how much I still have in my system of the prednisone. Been to four different doctors. First 2? There s did scratch and test bloodwork. - found high allergies scratche asked came back negative. Allergy specialist did painful allergy test found large list of allergies. Inside and outside. He put me on enough Zrtec, Alegra and Zantec to kill a zombie---no help there. Allergist is also offering allergy shots, but said they won t kick in for 2 months:(!! What my gut is telling me what it feels like that whatever is causing the rash is staying under my skin . I have been living in the same home for over 30 years and never ever had any kind of rash (other than poison ivy) and that went away directly with prednisone. I haven t changed any of my eating habits environment I have tried eliminating foods and household stuff - not eating the foods of exposing myself in the house to possible allergens My gut is feeling us something is MISSING. Every doctor wants to blame it on allergies. I have NEVER had a rash/hive allergy in my entire life. I m trying to get into see a dermatologist. Most dermatologist take up to two months to get into see---even with the doctors referral I m looking at:( I hope you can help this pretty much making my life unbearable

Rash on various parts of body it seems you have not allergy but a skin disease nameing scabies. If i have to treat such a patient i wil, advice lotion permethrin 6% to be applied on body from chin to feet before sleep daily forfive days, tab ivermectin 12mg stat 12mg after 14 days, tab mebryl twice a day , wear clothes after ironing and beds should be daily spread in sun light. Check other family members . Rule of thumb is to apply the lotion , all family members at one time.
