What Causes Red Rash All Over The Body With Itchy Palms And Soles?

I woke up in the middle of the night with itching palms and feet. A rash than appeared on my stomach with 3 raised pustules. Then a pink rash went all over my body. I took Benadryl. The body rash went away except for the one spot in my stomach. I took Benadryl again today. I don t know what this is or if I need to see a doctor

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Your symptoms of rashes along with itching and raised pustules seems to be most probably due to allergic reaction..
It can be related to certain food allergies, drug reaction, allergy to any soap or detergent or cosmetics, bed bugs 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 take oral anti allergics and a steroid shot 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..

Hope this helps..

Thanks and regards..
