A member asked:

I had a pedicure. i came home and my feet and hands started to itch. the itch soon spread all over my body. there is no visible rash. is it fungus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO, allergic reactio: A fungus can not spread like that and that quickly. You are likely experiencing an allergic reaction and may need to take some Benadryl (diphenhydramine) . Go to er or dial 911 if you are having any breathing issues like wheezing or sob. See your pcp as soon as you can to make a proper diagnosis.
