How To Cure Itchy Rashes On The Body After Weeding In The Garden?

I weeded my garden last Tuesday and by the next morning I had started getting a rash, it sorta looks like poison ivy. I have been to my dr and am on steroids but it is still getting worse. I was just told it is some type of allergic reaction to a weed. I have it all over my body and the itch is worse than any I have had. It makes me miserable and at times sick feeling. Nothing relieves the itch or pain

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and this could be hypersensitivity reaction and in my opinion this need to be managed with antihistamine and the best option would be Tab Levocetrizine 10 mg three times in day till the symptom improved, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
