Suggest Remedies For Rashes Throughout The Body And Scalp
Question: I have a rash that is all over my body and even in my scalp. I have been treated with multiple doses of Permethrin and clobetasol cream and lotion for my scalp) but the rash is still present and so itchy.
Should I go to an allergist ( who sent me to the dermatologist) or back to my PCP. No one has any answers for me. Thanks, Bonnie

Brief Answer:
Allergic dermatitis
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
I am sorry to hear that you are having such a terrible time with a general body rash that is not getting better with topical or oral steroids and anti-parasite medication. If you could down load an image of the rash I may be better able to help diagnose your problem.
General rashes are usually due to either a ingestion from something your allergic to or an allergy to something in your clothing. Your doctors have already done as much as they could possibly do to help in all these areas. But if you submit the image I might be able to help.
Please also list all your medications including supplements
Look forward to hearing back from you
