Suggest Treatment For Pimple Like Bumps On Body

I had a hysterectomy two weeks ago and am recovering fine. However, the last couple of days I've noticed my skin is covered with tiny little pimple-like bumps. While they are almost invisible to the eye, you can feel them all over, and sometimes they itch. They started on my hands, then moved to neck/chest, arms, feet, and calves. I did use a new brand of soap yesterday but didn't want to assume it could be a reaction to the soap until I consulted with a doctor. Are you able to assist? Thank you in advance.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

It seems to be an allergic reaction either to the medicines you had taken or to the soap. I would recommend you to take antihistaminic like tablet Cetirizine 10 mg once daily and apply Calamine lotion on the affected areas twice daily.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
