What Causes Spreading Rash All Over My Body?

I have a rash that is spreading all over my body. It has come on gradually over a period of months. It started on my face, now I have it all over my arms, legs and back. Nothing is helping it to go away. I cannot rest because of the chronic itching.

Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of spreading rash all over body which is mainly due to contact dermatitis and exposure to allergen on daily basis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply cold compresses to rashes. You should avoid hot, sharp and spicy food. You should 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 and may prescribe corticosteroid ointment along with anti inflammatory medication.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
