I broke out with a body rash a week and a half ago which spread rapidly covering 90% of my body I went to emergency twice and family doctor I was diagnosed with contact dermititis. There was some speculation that it was a result of having to get a second flu shot within two weeks (the first was to have been potentially compromised due to power outage at the doctor s office). During the last two weeks I have been precribed prednisone, zantac, benedryl, reacting hydrocorti cream as well as another glaxol base cream. I now have lower back pain, chills flakey skin chapped lips darker urine despite me drinking four bottles of gatorade in 24 hours not to mention relentless heartburn and upset stomach.

hello, you have to avoid the material which causes dermatitis, this itself will help yur medication to give yur quick relief. use a good moisturiser. follow the same medication since you had severe symptoms all the medicines are necessary. symptoms you are experiencing such as heart burns are due to the medications. do not worry you will be alright. do not forget to take Zantac along with prednisolone.
