Suggest Treatment For Severe Itchy Rashes On Arm

Something bit me, I think a spider I have a rash that has been itching like CRAZY for days, I ve tried every anti-itch creme, hydrocortizine, freaking apple cider vinegar, hydrogen peroixide, ice. I get less than an hour fo relief and its on again. Please help me, I want to cut my arm off.And let me if you can subscribe something, cuz if not I definitely do not want to pay for your reply. Cuz that means I ll still have to go somewhere and pay a doctor in person and I don t want to pay twice. Cant afford it that s why I don t have insurance as it is.

Hi,

If it was spider, you need an antihistamine like over the counter Cetirizine once after dinner for 4-5 days. Continue with steroid skin ointment. If no relief at all in two days, you need physical examination and prescription for specific drug.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
