What Causes Itchy Eyes With Rashes On The Legs And Hands?
I have had itching around my eye, and I rub them until the skin around the eye is red and raw. I try not to rub, but it s close to impossible not to. Also, I have patches behind each leg, on both arms around the elbow area, and on my side. I had an appointment with a dermatologist, but when I was suppose to go, the rash was not visible.. I did not go, because at that point, there was nothing to look at. It is back. I have been prescribed an antibiotic, and topical creams, by my G.P.,,Nothing seems to help. Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me. Kristina Olmstead

Hi,
It seems that probably you may be having urticaria. Consult the dermatologist again and get investigated properly for the perfect diagnosis and to find out its cause.
Avoid contact with the suspected culprit. And avoid the suspected dietary factor in food. Take fexofenadine thrice a day until the disease is controlled. If needed, oral steroids may be taken in a tapering dose.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
