I have tried vinegar cortisone 10, calamine lotion, nothing is stopping this itch and red blotchiness. seems as if its being spread by my itching. should I go to the er or is there something I can do

Hi,
It may be urticaria. There may be some triggering factors. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis.
After thorough examination and investigations...therapeutic course may be considered under observation of dermatologist. And allergy tests may be done if needed. Trial and error method may be considered to find out the triggers.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
