Suggest Treatment For Red Itchy Rashes On Legs
Question: I have a red itchy rash on my legs, started last night think it may be from pet dander
Brief Answer:
Can you upload an image of this rash to me?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry so sorry to hear about this itchy rash. The most common cause of this is an allergy and with you having a pet, it is most likely that the dander is the cause. If you still have itches, I recommend you take some Benadryl to control this. This condition doesn't require any antibiotics for treatment.
The best way to prevent recurrence of this condition is to avoid this getting in contact with pet dander. Otherwise, this would always happen and we would need medications to address this all the times which wouldn't be a very wise approach. I will like you to think of ways in which you can get this achieved.
I hope this helps. If possible, upload an image also for review and more insights. If you have any further unanswered concerns, feel free to request for clarifications and more information. Thanks for using our services today!
