Hi.. Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC.. I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.. As per your complain itching and red rashes on different parts of body can be due to causes like allergic reaction to any food or medication while can also be due to contact allergy with any skin cosmetic, detergent, soaps,body creams, poison ivy etc.. I would suggest you to consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like allergic tests like Patch test, RAST test, food challenge test etc can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly.. The tests will help in ruling out the exact cause of the allergen and once you know the cause of the allergic reaction you can avoid exposure to it to prevent allergy attack.. The allergist can advise to oral anti allergics as well as injectable steroids for relief.. Taking only anti allergics will temporarily resolve the symptoms but form complete relief ruling the cause and preventing exposure to same will provide complete solution.. As of now you can take anti-allergics like Levocetrizine, Allegra to control the itching and swelling.. Do cool compresses.. Application of calamine lotion can help in soothing the skin.. You can also be instilled an Immunotherapy that will help in reducing the severity and frequency of allergic attack.. Hope this information helps.. Thanks and regards.. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora..
