Suggest Remedy For Itchy Rash On Body

I have a rash on my stomach, back, hips. Recently also on my chest and tush. Currently on the end of a course of prednisone, which gave no relief and I feel miserable. Very itchy, worst in the warning. A biopsy on my back is positive for eczema. The rash on my front looks much different and is the itchiest. Doctors keep saying it s eczema, keep moisturizing. I have the moistest skin around, but the rash is growing and horribly itchy. Some spots feel like they are burning. Fabrics that rub against me all feel like sandpaper.

Hello,

It can be eczema and can cause severe itching due to allergic reaction. So my suggestion is to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and an allergy test can be done to rule out if it is due to allergic reaction. For now take anti allergic medicine like Levocetrizine to control itching. Apply steroid ointment over the rash and do i e packs. A steroid shot can help in improvement faster.

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