Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have outbreak of itchy rashes all over the body. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like contact dermatitis can be caused by coming into contact beauty products chemicals and poisonous plants , allergic reaction , side effects or certain medicines , sensitivity to sunlight , eczema and psoriasis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply cold compresses to reduce the itchiness and inflammation. You should maintain proper personal hygiene and take Zyrtec one a day. Consult dermatologist for proper examination Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test , test fro allergy and physical examination .
