How Should Sporadic Rash With Itching Be Treated?
My husband has had a sporadic rash for one month he is taking Atarax Zantac and zirtac previously his dermatologist started him on triacinolone 0.1. And clobetasol 0.05 Which has not made a difference Today his allergist/immunologist sent him for CT of the sinuses and chest x-ray. The chest x-ray came back requesting another chest x-ray with dye The itching is out of control he is taking Benadryl Ambien Soma just to sleep In the evening I apply aloe , lidocaine and menthol which gives him some relief Any suggestions??????

Hello,
In addition to the oral antihistamines, I suggest him to also use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion to calm down the rash/ itching. Besides his doctor may consider starting him on an oral steroid.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
