What Causes Rashes Allover The Body?
My sister (25) had staff infection (6mnths ago) in her arm and doesn t know how she got it. Seems suspicious. She always seems to be sick. Her appearance has changed and her skin looks terrible. She hasn t had a period in years, very thin now, and has what looks like a rash (measles) of some sort all over her body. She is very secretive, highly sensitive and moody. Our family thinks she s taking drugs but honestly don t know where to start. What does this sound like to you?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of rashes all over the body. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like compromised immunity of body, allergic reaction, contact dermatitis , eczema , psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. Need not to worry. For now apply cold compresses to rashes , take benadryl twice a day and avoid dry environment. I would suggest you to consult allergy specialist for proper examination. Doctor may order patch test, allergy test , blood test for IgE antibodies and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe anti allergic medicine , corticosteroid ointment and anti inflammatory . Doctor may also recommend you to eat gluten free food if he/she find your problem to be related with gluten allergy.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
