Drug allergy: Stop all NSAIDS such as ibubrofen. Naproxen as there may be cross sensitivity. Avoid excessive heat, exposure to sunlight and scratching. Ok to press on itichy areas and apply OTC hydrocortisone, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or calamine cream. Take oral Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Pepcid and if no better, see a doctor to get a steroid Rx.
