Hello,

I can't diagnose anything without having even seen the rash - obviously - and 'something like cancer' is not specific enough to help. When an itchy each occurs antihistamines usually help. Sometimes a corticosteroid is required. If the rash has not spread all over your body then a cream may be more appropriate, otherwise pills would be required.

The most appropriate treatment has to be decided by your doctor though as the only person who knows your medical history and the medications you're taking.

If you can upload an image of the rash and describe (or depict!) all the involved areas then it may be one easier to give a complete answer.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
