Suggest Remedy For Rash With Dry Skin

I have a dry skin type rash on my back and several small unhealing sores on my arms and legs. The rash on my back slightly itches and sticks up a bit. The sores on the rest of my body seem to stay as small open sores, the size of a pimple. How can I treat this naturally?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

You seem to have prurigo simplex most probably. There is no natural remedies for such problem. You consult dermatologist and have firm diagnosis. It may be due to some cause internal diseases or external factors..allergens or irritants. That can be found out by detailed history and investigations by your doctor.

I would suggest antihistaminics like levocetirizine and oral steroids in tappering doses. You may apply mild steroid cream on the lesions. And contact with suspected allergens or irritants should be avoided, if internal disease is found,it should treated.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks.
