Have Itchy Raised Rash Spreading To Face, Nose And Cheeks, Using Calamine Lotion. Cause?

Hi Doctor, the past several days I have broken out in a very itchy rash...its raised and the center is not fluidy. Some are in clusters some are just single...I have been using calamine lotion and a clear spray for Posion Ivy, Oak and Sumak.....I worked in the yard trimming weeds and bushes......I have never been allergic before....it is now spreading to my face, nose cheeks on my face......everytime I shower (which is daily) a new bump shows up, it is also on my neck in areas, chin and throat.....it won t stop spreading, I have no idea what this is.....help me.

Hi,
It seems that you are having allergic rashes due to some insect bite.
Take antihistamine like Cetrizine, Levo-cetrizine or Benadryl for 2-3 days.
Take antibiotic if infection takes place.
Apply calamine lotion locally.
Ok and take care.
