Q. Kindly suggest an ointment for quick relief of these itchy bumps.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I feel sorry for this situation.

• The most important aspect that I am interested in is how did you get this rash (attachment removed to protect patient identity)? Is it due to food allergy or medication induced or chemical allergy or plant or insect contact, etc?

• I suggest ointment Procort topical (Hydrocortisone and Pramoxine). It will provide you fast relief.

• Wash the area frequently. Do not use any scented soaps or shampoos to the area. Use oatmeal milk and honey body wash to take a bath and wash the area.

• I also suggest tablet Cetirizine 5 mg twice a day for five days and tablet Ibuprofen twice a day for three days to reduce inflammation and fast relief. Ice sponging too will be beneficial.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I appreciate your efforts for sharing pictures in the first place (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

• I had reviewed them in detail and see that there is no need to worry as this will go away in some time. In a couple of days you will get relief of the symptoms and in a week or two it will hopefully be resolved completely.
  • The ointment I mentioned before, being the best one for you. I suggest to apply it twice until relieved or for a week.
    • It seems to be either from touching the plants in the backyard or something else related. Some people are allergic to Pyodine surgical scrub (Povidone-Iodine) in hospitals. They may get this issue.
      • Other reasons include Latex allergy from gloves. You can rule them out and avoid if so.
