Suggest Treatment For Itchy Rashes On The Elbow

I have been cutting weeds , bagging them. I have rash and itching up to my elbows where my arms were exposed. I have old celestime tblets from when I had stepped on something and had an allergic reaction. If the meds are old could I still take a pill?

Hi,

You seem to have allergic contact dermatitis. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis.

You may take antihistaminics and steroid like Celestine in tappering dose. Please donot take old tablets which are out of date. Steroid cream may be applied.

This would help you...

Thanks..
