Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Yes, definitely in case it is not getting controlled you need to visit the hospital.
various medications are available for the same.
in case of severe rash medications can also be given in an injectable form.
glucocorticoid s and immunomodulatory drugs are generally used for the same.

I hope that is helpful.
