Broke Out Into Terrible Rash, Starts As Small Sore, Itches, Pops Leaving Yellow Crust. Took Benadryl, Cortisones. Causes ?
I have MS... just recently broke out into a terrible rash, starts as a small sore, fils, thenl with liquid, itches something terrible then pops leaving behind a tint tint yellow crust. I have been to see my Dr. and nothing prescribed but an over the counter allergy medication (benedryl) and 5% cortizone cream.
Today is day 3 of the rash. Some of the rash looks like half circles. I was also in my pool and yes I am anal about ensuring the sockit is utilized to ensure no bacteria. I also ate fresh cleaned blueberries and strawberries.

Hi,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to HealthcareMagic.
As per your query you have terrible rash, started as small sore, itches, pops leaving yellow crust.
The characteristic feature appears to be problem simple contact dermatitis with secondary infection. This is a common problem due to simple infection in the skin causing redness and pus.
For the betterment kindly follow the suggestions below:
-Apply over the counter calamine lotion 3-4 times a day.
-You can do cold water compresses to reduce the intensity of itching.
-Do not scratch or rub the skin as it can lead to further aggravation.
-The best measure is to take oral anti histamine like loratadine or levocetrizine under medial advise.
- You can take a course of antibiotic such as ciprofloxacin or cefadroxil for 5 days along with pain killers.
- Despite above measures if the problem is not getting better then it is better to consult a dermatologist for best guidance.
I hope these information's will help you. If you have further queries I will be happy to help.
"Wish you good health"
