I am bothered with a small rash of bumps all over my body from head to toe. My skin feels like shivers of glass sticking in my, burning and itching. Feels like my body is on fire from the inside and at times my skin gets real tight as if I am swelling but I am not at all . I have been dealing with this episode since June of last year. A skin doctor claims that it was hives but zertex and lotions didn t take it away at all. Could this be shingles or a sign of schlerderma or what.....It is really pressing on my nervous system and I can hardly stand to be clothed sometimes.
Hello, The commonest cause of the rash is that you are not keeping your body moisturized. The rash associated with pain is commonly caused by allergy, hives or shingles because it is associated with pain. You are suggested to visit a dermatologist & get physically examined. Your treating doctor may take your blood, skin tests. You will be asked to do STD tests to rule out any sexually transmitted diseases. Your treatment will depend upon the pathology detected. You can apply HY Chat Doctor.  Take acetaminophen to get rid of the pain. You may need antibiotics & antivirals. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
