Hello,

I can understand your concern. It seems that you have developed allergic reaction to the soap that you have changed recently.

I would advise you to take antihistamines. You can take Levocetrizine 5 mg (Levocet) or Loratidine 10 mg (Lorfast) once a day for 5-7 days. If it will indeed be an allergic reaction, it will reduce or disappear with this medication.

However, if the rash does not reduce or disappear or increase in severity, you should consult a dermatologist for clinical examination of the rash and further investigations.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
