Urticaria: Take Zyrtec 1 tablet daily and ranitidine 150 mg twice daily. You can also use Aveeno (oatmeal) body wash or moisturizer. Check if you took any new type of food or medication that might have triggered it. Go to urgent care or ER if you experience progression of sxs, rash, tongue swelling or shortness of breath

MD if not relieved: 29 year old female says she has been itchy over entire body for 3 days, hasn't changed anything, and scratching self sore. Most likely ate/ drank something not very agreeable with body. Contaminated bathing/swimming water, soaps/ body washes/ lotions/ cosmetics are potential Allergens. A trial of OTC anti-histamine medication by mouth and/or skin cream/ lotion first and see MD if not relieved.
