Suggest Medication For Itchy Rash All Over Body

My husband and I have a rash and unsure what it is from. It s itchy and regular chorizo new cream doesn t help much. I went to cvs minute clinic and was told maybe mites. But his visit was told not mites because they normally show in a line. We recently got a hot tub so not sure if this is the cause

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy rash all over body, well this is very common problem and mainly due to allergic reaction, hormonal changes , stress, oily skin and excessive exposure to sun. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start with antihistamine medication first and wash your body with bodywash containing benzoyl peroxide then apply cream containing azelaic acid which is safe and very effective. Apply vitamin E before going to bed to fine texture of skin. If condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Doctor may prescribe tretinoin ointment and antibiotic like clindamycin. Exfoliate your skin with non comedogenic exfoliant once a week to remove dead skin. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables also drink plenty of water.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
