6 weeks ago I broke out in a pimple like rash on the tops of my thighs and the next day it was all over my body except my face. I went to Dr. he thought it was an allergy to something. Was on prednisone and Claritin and neither one has helped much. I m off the prednisone now. The top of my legs cleared up, but my arms and lower legs are not clearing up much. They seem to keep flaring up. I went back to Dr. and now he thinks it may be my nerves. I think it may be viral? Everyone so often, one spot will just pop up out of no where. Any suggestions, I m at my wits end!
Hi. As per your case history you are having allergic dermatitis. My treatment advice is –
1. Avoid using any new products like soap or perfume. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-B cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine like levocetirizine for 7-10days . 4. Other treatment options are oral steroid and hydroxyzine given only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr.Harshit Bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
