What Does An Itchy Rash On The Abdomen Indicate?

I have this rash on my belly that itches from time to time but my husband has it now and have no idea what it is. He only itches when he gets home but never anywhere else. I never itch though but from time to time but my husband comes home and itches like crazy. All night long? Help please?

Hello,

If there is an allergy or infection rashes appear anywhere in the body. Since your husband has also got, then it is a contagious one. I think you should use antibiotic prophylaxis and antihistaminic to subside the rash. If fever is there, then you can take paracetamol also every six hourly until it subsides.


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

Regards,
Dr. Archana
