Hi there, I have a red rash all over my body - when I itch it leaves red marks, and it has not responded to anti histamine . I thought it might bean allergy to washing powered, but even parts of my body not in contact with fabric are itching. It started as a bumpy, blisters rash between my fingers and ow my whole body. I am worried I might have shingles again? Thank you for ay advice you can offer.
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The rashes can be contact dermatitis, insect bite reaction, dermatitis herpetiformis, chickenpox etc. Apply cooling and soothing lotion like aloe vera over the area. Shingle occurs in particular dermatome, and it would not spread to all over the body. Take tablet fexofenadine 180 mg twice daily.Also, oral steroids can help a lot in stopping the spread of the lesions. Hope this helps.  Regards Chat Doctor.
