Suggest Remedy For Itchy Skin Rash
Hi, I m a 24 yr old female. For the last few days I ve woken with an itchy rash on the front of both legs.. It has been disappearing by lunchtime but today there are more spots! I have just finished a week course of amoxicillin and a steroid based inhaler for a chest infection. I am also asthmatic. Any ideas what the rash could be? Should I be concerned?

Hi,
It seems that probably you may be having atopic dermatitis. ..As you gave history of asthma.
Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
Antihistaminics like levocetirizine and steroid in tapering dose may be taken.
Apply mild steroid cream on the affected areas.
Avoid soap bath.
Avoid contact with suspected allergens.
Avoid stress and anxiety.
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.
