Everything was fine and now one month later I have a terrible red, hot, itchy, sore rash all over my body. I have been back to md and now am on medrol dose pack one day. benadryl for itch. The rash is so painful and sore. When I take the medrol my skin tingles greatly and I am wondering if I may need another tx. The rash is so hot it makes my face appear to be sunburned. I continually put a wet wash colth on the rash and that is the only relief I can get. Is there anything else I can do? I AM MISERABLE
Hi. As per your case history you are having urticaria. My treatment advice is –
1. Avoid fast food and food with artificial colors for 2 months. 2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine twice daily when lesions appear. 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. Dr.Harshit Bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
