General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

You may take tablet levocetirizine two times for itching and rash. You may use calamine lotion if the affected area is small. Do not take steroid as it will aggravate your gastric problem.


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

Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
