Suggest Remedy For Rashes Spreading In The Body
I had a rash on the back of my leg that was extremely itchy. I went to the Doctor and was prescribed 3 different creams and nothing is working. The rash moved down behind my knee and a little lower. Those 2 rashes seem to be not as bad now but just below my bikini line on the opposite leg now has a hive looking rash. I have SLE and take plaqenil and have for about a year and a half now. The creams I was prescribed are Fucidin H, Betadern cream and I can t remember the 1st one but it was not as strong. I also was prescribed Hydroxyzine HCL for the itch to take at bed time. I also had shingles 2x last year and was vaccinated any ideas?

Hi,
It may be contacted allergic dermatitis most probably. There may be some cause like soap, clothes, detergents, house dust, house dust mites, pollens, wool, grass or some dietary allergen like chicken, eggs, fish, milk, curd, soya, banana, brinjal, tomato, fermented food, banana, etc.
I would suggest you take Cetirizine daily in the morning, cap Doxepin at night, Deflazacort tab daily in a tapering dose for a few weeks.
Apply mometasone cream on the affected parts. Avoid contact with suspected allergens. Do not take suspected dietary food. Avoid soap bath. Avoid tension.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
