What Causes Itchy Rashes All Over The Body?

I have developed a rash that has spread all over my body, it itches tremedously and is very uncomfortable. It has now spread to my face. The Dr s. so far have been unable to diagnose what this could be. Have been tested for parasites, scabies, fungal, had blood tests and the 80 patch test. No diagnosis, I am desperate to find out what this is so I can treat it. Nothing seems to help. Have been on steroids twice, antibiotics. I believe this could be allergy related.

Hi.
As per your case history you are having probably allergic dermatitis.
My treatment advice is -
1. Avoid using any new cosmetic like soap or perfume. Use a mild glycerine soap.
2. You can go for allergy blood test for food and drugs to find the probable allergens.
3. Start high dose oral antihistamine like levocetrizine and hydroxyzine twice daily.
4. Apply a mild topical steroid like mometasone or clobetasone twice daily on affected region.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks.
