Suggest Treatment For Itchy Rash
I have been suffering from an itchy rash for over six months now. It originally began after a reaction to Carbamazapine, which has since been discontinued. My skin burns from the inside out, and becomes extremely itchy. What initially started as red, blistery bumps that would break out, have now turned to white patches that appear as if they are growths of extra skin. I awaiting on a biopsy at present, but any information that can I obtain right now would help as I am suffering an very uncomfortable outbreak right now.

Hello,
You seem to have eczematous dermatitis. I suggest you use a moisturizer regularly.
In addition, I suggest you use a potent topical steroid cream e.g either clobetasol propionate or betamethasone Dipropionate, twice daily. You may also take an oral antihistamine e.g Cetirizine tablet once a day for a few days for symptomatic relief from itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Kakkar S., Dermatologist
