What Causes Itchy Rashes On Body And Face?

I woke up this morning n started to get a rash that spread very quickly to my entire body. You could actually see them popping up. They r itchy and he ones on my cheeks/face are hot a little bit. I haven t changed anything laundry wise or food wise. Last night we had a skunk in our garage. He sprayed several times before me n my husband could get it out. It didn t spray on us. Could the aroma the skunk sprayed cause me to have this give rash ?

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Yes,it could be possible that droplets of that or might be because of aroma.

So,this itchy rashes over skin could be due to allergic hives or atopic dermatitis etc.

The important thing is to diagnose first rather than treatment.

You can go to skin specialist for detailed history and inspection of rashes to have a clear diagnosis.

You might require topical corticosteroid like beclomethasone, clobetasol or mometasome with antihistamines orally to reduce itching.

Some time oral antifungal once dosage with prednisolone are also effective.

So,you must consult the doctor preferably dermatologist.

Regards,
