Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy skin and rashes which seems to be due to allergic reaction leading to dermatitis.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start taking anti allergics medications such as Allegra. You should apply a steroid ointment like cortisone over the rash area for relieving inflammation and itching. Application of calamine lotion will be effective to soothe the skin. Apply cold compresses over itchy rashes. If symptoms still keeps on persisting you should visit dermatologist once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests and start treatment after proper prescription.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
