Suggest Treatment For Severe Rashes And Bumps
I am 48 year old male. Always very healthy but I haven t felt the best lately and now I have this terrible rash or bumps. Went to the dr and he prescribed a steroid pill to take once a week I though it was better but has gotten tremendously worst the past 2 days. I also have terrible pain in both of my shoulders. Could these two be Related ?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is kind of some allergic condition then it needs to be treated with antihistamine first and not with steroid, steroid can only be given when the skin condition is not responding to antihistamine and steroid responsive, in your case it is better to try Tab Hydroxyzine 10 mg three times in day, along with this "Calamine lotion" can be tried hope this information helps.
