Suggest Remedy For Itchy Rashes On Body
I have a rash that looks like multiple bruises that go around my side starting from above my navel to the center of my back. They are where one would expect to see shingles but they are not blistered. They itch. In fact the itching started a few days prior to the rash showing up. They are also sore to touch--more sore than a normal bruise would be. I also have had a constant headache since the itching started and intermittent nausea.

Hi.
As per your case history you are having allergic dermatitis.
My treatment advice is –
1. Avoid using any new products like soap or perfume.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-B cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine like levocetirizine for 7-10days .
4. Other treatment options are oral steroid and hydroxyzine given only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
