I have a rash of some sort on my back that I have had for 2 days and it is red and itchy, I have been using Benadryl and cortizone and they are not helping with the itchiness?? is there something I can do??? there are like a little cluster of welts. . thank you Julie
As per your case history of itching on back, my treatment advice:
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like Levocetirizine twice daily for 7 to 10 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral steroid like Prednisone or Betamethasone taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
