What To Do For The Rashes Which Occur Frequently On Whole Of The Body?
I do get rashes-small to medium size-scattered predominantly on legs,arms,back, back of neck etc, once in 2-3 months. They are more itchy at night time in bed. By scratching they become more red and puffed-get brown after a week and fade away in 2-3 weeks but in between new keep on appearing in groups till i get totally all right in 4-6 weeks. Anti allergy medicines don t seem to help Please let me know the cause and remedy.

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have rashes which occur frequently on whole of the body which seems to be due to allergic reaction, dermatitis , sensitivity to sunlight and could be scabies.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist once for proper examination. Doctor may take skin sample for lab test, and may prescribe 5 percent permethian cream, 25 percent benzyl benzoate lotion and percent sulfur ointment. For now apply cold compresses and take benadryl. Keep yourself hydrated and wear loose clothes. Avoid application of any hard cosmetics on skin.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
