HI
Greeting from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.
It seems like you are allergic to Vitamin K Injection. The rashes you are having are due to Injection induced Drug reaction.
Sometimes these reactions are limited to rashes but sometimes the reactions can become fatal causing breathing difficulty , low Blood pressure and even death .
I advise you to go to ER as soon as possible . You will be given certain Injections called Steroids which shall control the rashes and possible other complications that might arise out of drug reaction .
Any clarification feel free to ask .
Regards.

Even though I've already had a steroid shot and taken two doses of 3 tabs a day for two days now? Hurts and I just feel I could scratch my skin off.

Also you can ask for Anti-Histaminic medications like ATARAX and apply calamine lotion over your rashes.
Kindly let me know what steroid you are on.
