Current medical status: rash, covering head, upper torso, arms. I have this for 3 months and IT ITCHES!!!!
Current medical treatment: Have been to my dr., which sent me to a dermitogist, and an allergiest which has given me so many types of med. and salves... but still rash persist. Some of the med. has relieved the itching but still persists. Med. prescribed prednisone 10 mg, ranitdine 150 mg, fexofenadine 180 mg. Salves are ..... triamcinolon, desoximetasone usp, 0.25%, and a foam which is clobetasol popionate.

A skin rash can be due to many reasons. Allergy to the medications you take for the blood pressure is one of the possibilities that can be easily checked if you stop taking that medicine. Photo-allergy is another possibility that can be revealed if you avoid the sun. There are specific skin tests that are used for detecting allergies to specific substances.


A skin rash can also be due to an infection. Certain viral infections (chickenpox, measles, rubella…) are mainly indicated by a skin rash. Other viral infections (like Hepatitis B) can be indicated by an allergic reaction (skin rash) besides other symptoms. You can request a standard blood test (blood count, sedimentation, AST, ALT, CRP, urea, creatinin…) and several serological blood tests to exclude these possibilities.


You may want to consult a dermatologist about your case.
