Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have recurring itchy rash all over body.Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like contact dermatitis , eczema , psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis . Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply cold compresses to rashes , take benadryl twice a day and avoid dry environment. You should consult allergy specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order allergy test , blood test for igE antibodies and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe anti allergic medicine , corticosteroid ointment and anti inflammatory . Doctor may also recommend you to eat gluten free food if he/she find your problem to be related with gluten allergy.
