Suggest Remedy For Rashes, Broken Skin And Itching All Over Body
Since Oct. 2013, I have had something that might be psoriasis, although three good doctors still aren t quite sure. I have taken prednisone, which works, and methotrexate, which made my sick. I have had allergy testing, skin samples taken from various areas, and still the rash, broken skin and itch appear almost over my whole body. I use, off and on, triamtinolone and chlobesterol, but have to stop so my skin won t be damaged by those. Now, two dark brown spots have suddenly appeared on my arm, about a 1/2 inch diameter. I m miserable. Any advice?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of hes, broken skin and itching all over body which is probably due to lowering down your immunity and making you prone for infection. It could be due to allergic reactions and contact dermatitis. Need not to worry. Take hot milk rich in turmeric as it will boost immunity. I would suggest you to apply wet cold sheets on your body to lower down body temperature and itchiness. Avoid touching or pricking rashes. Take diet rich in multivitamins and vitamin C. Your symptoms will resolve in 4-5 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once and get some routine blood investigation and skin patch test done.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
