Suggest Remedies For Prickly And Itchy Body Rashes

Hi Doc, I m allergic to shellfish and every time I go to the beach for vacation I get a heat pickley rash on my arms, hand, legs and feet. I m not sure if it s from the heat, iodine or mixture of heat and fluids fromy the fish. My body is swollen, hot, plickly, pumpy, itchy and burninget. Any ideas what it could be? The only thing thatso helpping a little is sitting in water and rubbing baby oil.

It can be due to some fungal infection for which you can take antibiotics like cefadroxyl or zifi-cv after an expert opinion along with cetrizine or Avil itching or rashes. Apply clonet lotion or clo-trimazole cream locally over the affected area. You can take steroids if not improved with above treatment.
