Tried Hydrocortisone Cream And Hydroxyzine Pamoate For Rash, But Not Effective.
i have a rash on my legs, arms, and butt, the sores start out as a small white bump that itch, they fester into larger red bumps, some become open sours i think from scratching. i have been given antibiotics twice for this the sours improve but don't go away. my dr. referred me to a dermatologist but the appointment is weeks away. I am self medication with hydrocortisone cream and hydroxyzine pamoate but the itching is steel unbearable sometimes, mostly at night i think i scratch in my sleep and when i wake up the itching is unbearable, what can i do to releave the itching until i see the dermatologist.
Hi there.
I understand your concerns & thanks for writing in to HCM.
Itch has innumerable causes. A detailed history will be required.
Is it possible to upload some clear digital images on this website?
For the moment, try applying some calamine lotion on the trunk as & when required.
Also take 1 tablet of hydroxyzine known as atarax worldwide in a dose of 10mg at night.
This should take care of you till you meet with the dermatologist.
Good Luck & Godspeed!
