How Can Itchy Rashes On The Legs Be Treated?

Yesterday I was digging in the front yard, (as I have been for the past month). I felt like pin like pokes. I didn t think anything of it. Last night, my daughter in law saw around 50-80 red circles on my legs. Mostly in the back. I took a shower, it just made it not itch. Today, it has moved up to my arms. I have taken benadryl, but it is really really itchy.

Hi i do care for your concern.
The history suggest of allergy to unknown insect bite.
The drug that you are taking would suffice for this type of allergy.
however its advisable to take drug such as cetrizine one tablet twice a day, and application of calamine lotion will help to reduce the symptoms.
Hope your condition resolves soon.
Hope i have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.
Thank you.
