Suggest Treatment For Red Rashes On Body Causing Itching

I developed a rash, small red dots, all over my body. Doctor gave me Medrol. The rash got worse and I went to the Emergency room. I was given 2 more prescriptions and told to continue Medrol. The itching is still bad. Could the Medrol be making it worse?

It might be due to some allergic reaction or skin infection. For treatment you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl after an expert opinion along with avil or cetrizine for severe itching and redness. You can use betnovate-c cream or noesporin-gm powder for local application.
