Suggest Medicine For Itchy Red Rashes All Over The Skin

I am doing water arobics 5 days a week . I itch so bad and get red spots on my skin so bad the pharmacy told me to try taking a antihistamine for 2 weeks to see if I get any relief . I have tried lots of lotion and showers. Is there something else I should be trying. I am 69 and don t like to take meds that might have side effects thank you
