Why am I having dry and peeling rashes all over my body?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have tiny rashes all over my body. It started with my hands, then my laps, now it seems to be all over. Sometimes, it looks very dry, as though it is peeling and whitish. I went to the hospital and I was told it could be an allergic reaction and to relax but it has been almost a month and the rashes has spread to other places. Please help. What can this be?
Thanks.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through your complaint and reviewed the attached photograph (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It seems to be dermatitis. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like Clobetasol propionate cream diluted in a moisturizing lotion in the ratio of 1:3 on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetirizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching for 10 to 14 days.
I hope this information will help you.
Thanks.
