Which Medicine To Be Used To Treat An Itchy Rash On All Over My Body?

Yesterday I came up with an itchy rash all over my body. Today is worse. My face is hot and puffy and covered in tiny pustules. Over the weekend I tried a new self-tanning moisturiser and a new sun cream. Could it be due to these? What should I buy from a pharmacy to treat this?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

As per your complain itchy rashes all over the body and formation of small tiny pustules on face and puffiness or swelling seems to be due to Allergic Contact Dermatitis and can be due to the newly used skin cosmetics while it can also be due to other common causes of it can be Poison Ivy,leather, latex, pollen, detergents etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigation to rule out the cause of allergen like Patch test, RAST test can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
As of now you can take anti allergics like Allegra or benadryl and apply steroid based creams like Cortisone ointment over the bumps..
Do cool compresses..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
