I recently had an allergic reaction to a new detergent, resulting in a rash on my back, chest, and arms. Cortisone cream seemed to work, but I still have a small lingering rash. I was wondering if pepcid with loratadine or zyrtec/allegra would work?

Any idea what this rash is? It itches like crazy. Claritin (loratadine) and hydrocortisone have no effect. Photo http://imgur.com/fGON8eD

I was given hydrocortisone cream 1% & loratadine tablets, 10mg/antihistamine. Its been over 1 hour & the hives continue to appear & burn. Concerned?

Could taking Claritin (loratadine) cause numbness in your hand, arm legs and other patrsw oh your body?

I have had a cough for several weeks i take Claritin (loratadine) or zyrtec everyday. Two weeks ago i had a cortisone shot and still have not had any relief.
