Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Eczematous rash or drug rash. I would recommend you to take antihistaminic like tablet chlorpheniramine maleate twice daily and apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
