Suggest Treatment For Skin Rashes All Over Body

I have skin rashes popping out all over my body for 2 weeks. I am a 59 year old male. I can t think of anything different I ve done, except I did heavy yard work at my dad s house two weekends ago. This is not poison ivy, but red pimples, small and medium sized on stomach, sides, legs, etc.

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Rashes over skin could be due to eczema or allergic hives or atopic dermatitis but it can be diagnosed correctly only after visual inspection of this rashes.

The important thing is to diagnose first rather than treatment.

You can go to skin specialist for detailed history and examination of rashes to have a clear diagnosis.

You might require topical corticosteroid like beclomethasone, clobetasol or mometasome with antifungal cream like miconazole or itraconazole with antihistamines orally to reduce itching if it is there.

Some time oral antifungal once dosage with prednisolone are also effective.

So,you must consult to the doctor.

Regards,
I find this answer helpful
