I recently got a massage in southeast asia, where massage oils were used and noticed skin rashes developing. how should i treat this?

Reaction to the oils: You may be having a reaction to the oils that were used. Oral antihistamines - claritin, allegra, zyrtec, benadryl (diphenhydramine) etc may be helpful. Oatmeal baths may be soothing. If not improving quickly get evaluated.
