Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of red, warm and itchy rashes on the body which seems to be due to sensitivity to sunlight, frictional heat production, contact dermatitis can be caused by coming into contact with chemicals and poisonous plants, side effects or certain medicines, allergic reaction, eczema and psoriasis.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you maintain proper personal hygiene. You should take zyrtec once daily. You should consult a dermatologist for proper examination. The doctor may order skin patch test, blood test, test for allergy and physical examination. The doctor may prescribe corticosteroid ointment, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressants. Apply cold compresses to reduce the itchiness and inflammation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
