Question 1

my body itches quite a bit and breaks up into rashes, what shall i do?

Accepted Answer

Need to see a doctor: If the itching is just from sensitive skin or dry skin, such as eczema, then one can use an over-the-counter cream such as cerave, cetaphil, or eucerin. Adding Hydrocortisone cream for 1 week will help. Taking otc antihistamines such as Claritin (loratadine) or zyrtec helps too. The itching may also be due to an internal disorder, such as liver problems or intestinal parasites, so one should see a doctor.

Childhood infection?: Most likely will turn out to be one of the usual childhood illnesses with rash. Turning into sores suggests chickenpox, but extremely rare for both adults to have chickenpox.

Do it ASAP; maybe not dangerous, but sooner the better for accurate diagnosis.

Accepted Answer

Show your physician: It's impossible to diagnose a rash without looking at it. Next time it flares up, don't take any medicine for it and don't apply anything topically-- these can change the rash and make it difficult to diagnose. Then have your physician look at it right away.
