A member asked:

Extreme itching with rash, how does epinephrine work to stop it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It doesn't.: If the itchy rash happens to be part of anaphylaxis (a violent allergic reaction), Epinephrine will help, but it is only used in life-threatening situations. Other treatments are used for most itchy rashes, depending on the cause.
