Brief Answer:
Try Benadryl! It is an allergic reaction!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what you are experiencing. The description is very suggestive of an allergic reaction. Since the whole body is involved, it would be better to take anti allergy by mouth so that it can be distributed to the whole body system for effective action. A local cream would not be sufficient for this. I suggest Benadryl at doses recommended by your pharmacist. Also, you may want to send us picture to see how severe this reaction is.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
