Suggest Treatment For Itchy And Red Rashes On Body And Scalp
Hello! Two mornings ago i woke up with an extremely itchy scalp. Throughout the day I began to get these itchy, red, blotchy rashes which have continued to spread to different parts of my body. The rashes are also quite warm and are accompanied by a pins and needles sensation. Any idea what this could be?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You seem to have Hives/ Acute Urticaria. I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g tablet cetrizine 10mg once a day for a few days. If this is not effective as desired then I would suggest adding a short course of an Oral steroid like prednisolone. In addition you may apply a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion to calm down the rashes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
