How to treat itchy rashes on legs and arms?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 35-year-old female and I have rashes on my legs, arms, and armpits with severe itching. I have no fever or difficulty breathing. I have had allergies but never this serious. I am currently on Allegra (Montelukast Sodium and Fexofenadine hydrochloride), Zentel (Albendazole), Xevor (Levocetirizine), and Moisturex (lactic acid, light liquid paraffin, propylene glycol, and urea). It has gotten worse in the last three days.

Please help.

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

I think right now you are having an urticarial rash. I suggest you take tablet Cetirizine 10 mg at night for seven days. This may induce sleep but there is nothing to worry about that. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicines with their consent. Also, apply Clobetasol lotion and Provate lotion (Clotrimazole, Betamethasone, and Neomycin) on your body lesions two times daily for seven days. Apart from the above two treatments try to avoid spicy foods, eggs, chicken, or meat for a few days. Urticaria sometimes may be due to insect bites or drugs as well. Please let me know if you have taken any medicine before the rash appeared like painkillers or any other drug for any illness.

Thank you for consulting me.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

Yes, it could be the reason though paracetamol is a least toxic drug. All your allergy medicines are fine too. It will take a little bit of time to settle down.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.
