What Causes An Itchy Rash On Body Along With Burning Sensation?

i was up all night Thursday due to constant itching that started on my neck. the rash spread all over and is almost a veiny upraised one. it burns after you itch and becomes very red. all the sites i looked on said it might be an allergic reaction and if so remove yourself from the trigger. the only thing is i don t know what is causing this and the rash still hasn t gone away. right now i am taking allegra and spraying the areas containing the rash with an anti itch spray, as well as applying a triamcinolone acetonide ointment (USP, .1%). what else would you recommend, and what do you think is causing this?

Hi,

It may be connected with allergic dermatitis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to take antihistaminics like cetirizine. Apply mild steroid cream on the affected areas. Avoid contact with suspected triggers.

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