HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The itching rash may be due to an allergic reaction to some agent. This could be a food/drink/cream/soap/detergent/cloth etc.

Since the symptoms are severe, you may want to consider allergy testing to find out the exact cause.
This can be in the form of blood tests or skin prick testing.

Diarrhea can also occur in allergic reactions though that may also be due to intolerance to a food or drink that you are using.

I hope this helps
