Dermatologist: You should have a definite diagnosis for such an extensive skin eruption. I recommend that you consult a dermatologist as soon as possible for diagnosis and treatment. Corticosteroids by mouth may be recommended by the specialist to achieve prompt relief.

Find a better DR: Best result if you see a dermatologist. Chlorphenirimine is an antihistamine which may help urticaria [hives], but no other skin disorder. It is not the best choice for hives, either. Begin by defining the whole thing: arrive at a diagnosis.
