Suggest Treatment For Severe Rashes All Over The Face And Hands
I have broken out in a bad rash all over my face, chin, forehead, scalp, arms, back, neck, hands, and under my armpits and it is becoming much worse. I went to my primary doctor and she perscribed methylprednisolone 4 mg dose pak and taking over the counter claritin. This rash started about 2 weeks ago with just blotches on my face and now has gotten extremely worse.

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The treatment of rashes on body depends on the cause.Some possible causes may include: contact dermatitis, bacteria and fubgal skin infection, scabies, allergy, infectious mononucleosis, measles.....
I will suggest you continue with methylprednisolone and claritin.You may add an anti-septic solution like cyteal for bathing.If symptoms paersist, you see your Dermatologist for examination and better management.
Hope this will help
Wish you good health
