Suggest Medication For Blotches Appearing On The Body

I had strep throat 2 months ago, shortly after treatment I began getting small round blotches in various areas of my body. I was given a 3 day prednisone pill hoping it would clean, however its still here. Its not itchy but it is very disturbing nothing I ve tried is helping. What could this be?

Hi,

Could be a viral exanthem. I suggest you use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion. It is soothing and drying. In addition, I suggest you take an oral antihistamine e.g Tab Cetrizine once a day for a few days.

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