Suggest Treatment For Red Rashes All Over Body

Hi I had red rushes all over my body (except for face) and went to urgent care and got steroid shot. Rushes are gone within hour. However after about 10 hours later, rashes come back again and all over body plus face. I took Benadryl and prednisone couple hours ago but seems not effective and i have severe itchy feelings. Can you give me some advise? I doubt this is food or other material allergy since I didn t eat or use anything different. Also I never had this lind of itch rash before.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

It seems to be urticaria.

It is an allergic reaction to food, preservatives, drugs, thyroid disease, infection and sometimes occur without any cause.

I would recommend you to take antihistaminics, like tablet Cetrizine.

This should resolve it.

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