What Does Red, Spotty Rashes On Body Mean?
My husband came down with a rash which has developed into a very serious one covering his whole body except his face. We do not have a dermatologist in our small town. He was given prednisone by an our patient Doctor but it is still terrible and his ankles are swelling. It is red and the spots have grown together, if you understand what I mean.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your husband, steroid should not be given in initial phase unless it is being sure that patient is qualified for this otherwise this need to be avoided, instead antihistamine is the gold standard therapy for allergic reaction and best drug would be Tab Levocetirizine 10 mg three time in day and Tab Loratidine one tab three times in day, be patience this would be fine if not then this may need some investigation, take care.
