Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain rashes all over the body with
severe itching seems to be most probably due to
allergic reaction but as you are taking the medication since ten years without any discomfort it is less likely to be a cause..
It can be due to other causes like any food or medication, poison ivy, leather, latex etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like allergic tests like
Patch test, RAST test, food challenge test etc can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
The tests will help in ruling out the exact cause of the allergen and once you know the cause of the allergic reaction you can avoid exposure to it to prevent allergy attack..
The allergist can advise to oral anti allergics as well as injectable
steroids for relief..
As of now you can take anti-allergics like Levocetrizine,
Allegra to control the itching and swelling..
Do cool compresses..
Application of
calamine lotion can help in soothing the skin..
You can also be instilled an
Immunotherapy that will help in reducing the severity and frequency of allergic attack..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards..
