Red Rashes All Over Body, Itching, Started As Blisters On Fingers. Due To Shingles?
Hi there, I have a red rash all over my body - when I itch it leaves red marks, and it has not responded to anti histamine . I thought it might bean allergy to washing powered, but even parts of my body not in contact with fabric are itching. It started as a bumpy, blisters rash between my fingers and ow my whole body. I am worried I might have shingles again? Thank you for ay advice you can offer.
Shingles occurs in perticular dermatome and it would not spread to all over the body.
Take tablet fexofenadine 180 mg twice daily.Also oral steroids can help a lot in stopping the spread of the lesions.

Shingles occurs in perticular dermatome and it would not spread to all over the body. Take tablet fexofenadine 180 mg twice daily.Also oral steroids can help a lot in stopping the spread of the lesions. Hope this helps. Regards Dr Sudarshan MD dermatologist
