HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are some persons who do have itching and rash as a result of contact with water.
This is called aquagenic urticaria.
The use of non drowsy anti histamines are the main treatment. This includes medications such as fexofenadine, loratidine, cetrizine.
Pepcid and zantac are normally used for the stomach and acid but because of the way they work in the body, they are also combined with these antihistamine for added effect
I hope this helps
