What Causes Itchy Rashes On The Chest, Shoulders And Armpit Despite Using Benedryl?
I have an itchy rash on chest up to shoulders and on armpits and arms above elbows. I have had this now going on three weeks. I am taking benedryl and using hand sanitizer (70% alcohol) to get relief. I also have been feeling winded at times, and have a mucous producing cough that is most apparent when I lay down to rest or sleep. Any ideas? I have an appointment with my PCP in ten days.

Hello,
It seems you have some kind of allergy. Apply Atarax anti-itch lotion 2 to 3 times per day.
Also, apply Cetaphil moisturizing lotion on body to keep moistened. Take tablet Vozet at nighttime for 7 days and use Prosoft soap for bath.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priya Mohod Shirsat
