Hi--lost my first message. For about a month have had red, not all raised skin spots on arms, leg, especially behind the knees; some on upper back some on chest. VERY itchy. Using oatmeal soap and Eurcerin lotion, but itching comes back! plan to visit dermo. Grew up, still love in Florida! One summer fell asleep on my stomach for a couple of hours, very painful. Unable to work for about 3 days. I don t worship the sun anymore! Im a redhead, lots of freckles and now this! Plan to visit a dermo. ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR TOPICAL ? TX SYLVIA V.

Hello,

Yes, you should definitely consult dermatologist and get done clinical examination of rashes. Possibility of allergic etiology is more likely.

You may need:
1. Combination of antihistamine (Levocetrizine or Fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast).
2. Mometasone cream for rashes.
3. Detailed allergy testing to identify causative allergens in your. The best treatment of allergy is the identification of allergen and if possible complete avoidance of it. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
