What Causes Red Rashes All Over The Body?
Hello, My husband started with a red rash that was itchy and bumpy all over his body about 2weeks ago. He took Benadryl and it seemed to subside. Now the rash comes and goes, but his palms of his hands are extremely itchy all the time and his feet are extremely swollen up to his ankles. They are very red, hot and itchy all the time. Please help

Hi
Your husband seems to be developing an urticarial skin rash .
Take some oral antihistamines like Benadryl or levocetrizine along to relieve the associated itching and allergy .
Avoid pain killers and antibiotics.
I would advise you to see a nearby doctor soon for confirmation of the diagnosis and further management.
