What Do Itchy Rashes On The Torso And Scalp Indicate?

I have a very itchy rash, maybe even welts, all over my torso, going up into my scalp. Finessed 7 days of pennacyln for a sinus infection. Thought it might be a allergic reaction. Was trying to find it on internet. Did epsom salt bath, pouring calamine lotion as well as witch hazel. Been stressed. Took benedril otc this am. Tranquilizer this aft and allergy pill otc as I do every morning. It is still spreading. Walk-in clinics are closed . Do I need to go to hospital. 75 yr old female, never had this before. Rash is pink

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You might be having some allergic rashes. Allergy can develop due to several reasons- some foods like egg, fish, pollen grains, animal hair, nylon, terylene clothes. Just try to find out what you are allergic to & avoid it. Try home remedies. Apply coconut oil daily three times a day for one week. If you are not better consult a dermatologist. It can be fungal infection or eczema.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
