What causes red itchy widespread rash all over my body?
Patient: i developed a very red itchy wide spread rash all over my body but especially on my  torso after finishing my antobiotics ---is there a natural remedy that i can do or take to help the rash to get better                     please dont send me any attachments on my email if possible Doctor: Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagicOne possibility that I can think of as the reason for widespread rash is a drug reaction probably to Oral antibiotics.Maculopapular drug reaction is the most common type of drug reaction to Oral antibiotics.If I was the treating doctor I would suggest you to try an OTC topical soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion, twice or thrice daily.An OTC oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10 mg once daily will provide you symptomatic relief from itching.If the rash does'nt respond as expected with this treatment, I suggest you to review it with a dermatologist.A severe drug rash may warrant a course of an Oral Or injectable steroids.Regards
