Suggest Remedy For Rashes In Neck & Arms

I woke up two mornings ago with bumps/a rash on both sides of my neck. The same day, the bumps got swollen around my neck, the creases of my arms, my back, near the insides of my thighs, and on the back of my thighs. They spread out and itch. I have taken benadryl but the bumps/rashes are still appearing.

Hi,

It may be sort of allergy. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to take a course of oral steroid in tapering dose for few weeks. Take antihistaminics like cetirizine 10 mg daily till the itching is relieved. Apply mild steroid combined with antibiotics cream on the lesions. Avoid the contact with suspected allergens. Avoid soap bath. You may use dettol liq in dilution for the bath.

Hope this helps.
