What Is The Treatment For The Allergic Rashes All Over The Body?
I have skin allergy for about 5-6 years now which was more or less in control - as I had to take regular medicines. BUT now since last 3-4 days it has increased a lot and not controlled. I have red patches on all over the body and it is severely itching and non tolerable

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The worsening of your allergies implies that you have likely been re exposed to the allergen.
Treatment would involve (1) avoiding further contact with the allergen- if you are unsure what you are allergic to, you may want to consider allergy testing
(2) oral antihistamines
(3)topical steroids to the area, since it is severe, you may need strong steroid creams which would require a prescription
(4)a short course of oral steroids may be needed
I hope this helps
