Suggest Treatment For Severe Itchy Rashes On Body

I am suffering from an allergic reaction to laundry detergent. I have a rash ALL over and I m itching so very badly. I cannot take any antihistamines because I have severe akathisia when taking it. What else could I possibly take? I m miserable and cannot sleep!

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. You can use hydrocortisone cream (cortisone 1) for local application. If this is not helping then taking a short course of corticosteroids like methyl prednisolone will be helpful. But this is a prescription drug and you can approach your general practitioner for this.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
