What Could Be The Reason Behind Extremely Itchy Rashes All Over The Body With Leg Cramps,sore Throat,congestion And Heartburn?

I have had a rash for about 3 to 4 weeks now it is on the back and side of my neck, in my armpits, inside of my elbows, forearms, under my breasts, lower abdomen, groin, and back of knees. It is extremely itchy and seems to bother me worse at night. I have also been experiencing foot and leg cramps on a daily basis, sore throat, congestion, and heartburn. I went to see my doctor and she said it was most likely from my detergent so I bought dye free allergy free detergent and have not used or eaten anything different and the rash isnt getting any better.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can really appreciate your concern, this could be urticarial rash, If I would be your doctor then I would treat you with the second generation long acting antihistamine and the best drug would be "Levocetrizine 10 mg three times in day, if this fails to respond then the next drug would be "Hydroxyzine" 10 mg three times in day, you would get alright with this treatment, have nice time.
I find this answer helpful
