What Might Cause The Spreading Rash On My Body?

Hi. I have a rash that started on my lower legs about 2 weeks ago. It is very red and ugly and very itchy. Since it started, it has slowly moved to the tops of my feet and to my arms and tops of my hands. It is now working its way up the tops of my legs. Can you tell my what this might be?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

I have gone through your query and it seems to be an eczematous rash. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg twice daily for 10 days.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
