Rashes on upper chest, neck, jaw line, itching, burning. Using eurex cream. Cure?
Patient: I have a hives type rash on my front upper chest and neck and jaw line. I have had it for a few days and been treating it with antihistimines and Eurex cream. Sometimes it seems to be reducing in severity and then it will flair up again. Should I take different antihistimines. I have loiritidine and piriton and have taken these regularly or more than recommended on the packet but sometimes itch and burn so bad. Doctor: HI I THINK IT IS ACUTE URTICARIA.CHANGE THE ANTIHISTAMINES TO ATARAX AND LEVOCETRIZINE CAN CURE IT,.ADD A SHORT COURSE OF STEROIDS AND CALAMINE LOTION TO THE TREATMENT
