Itchy Pricking Rash On Shoulder, Stomach, Legs, Hydroxychloride

I have had an itchy pricking (almost stabbing ) rash on my shoulder , stomach and legs for months. Today it is especially bad and I feel as if I am crawling allover, and it has spread to my hands. My consultant whom I see for Arthritis told me to stop my hydroloxochloride if this rash returned, which I have done some months ago, so I don t know what this is. The Dr blamed it all on the medication but I have not taken any for so long. I also have b12 injections every three months. There is a tiny pin hole on my leg at the moment that is red and it fells like someone is putting a knife into it.

Hi
It may be adverse effect of drugs you are taking. So stop that drug and have one injection on avil and dexona that is anti histamine and steroid and then switch on to tablet avil for 1 wk. Hope this will help you. If it does not help plz consult your family physician.
Thank you.
Get well soon.
