I have a rash(thinking hives maybe) that start a week ago on my leg, only a small cluster of tiny red water filled bumps, itchy at times. 5 days later it spreads all over and is not stopping. Its intense itching, swelling in some spots and some feel warm now. Have used tons of cortisone cream, soap for itching, taken allergy meds & motrin and nothing is seeming to help, just keeps spreading. I had several bug bites last weekend when I noticed the tiny rash so thinking Im having a reaction to the bites maybe but not sure since it didnt start spreading until 5 days later.
Hello, It may be Lichen Ultimatum. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. It may be the hypersensitivity reaction to the insects. So, avoid insect bites. You may take steroid tablets in tapering doses with antihistamines. If needed, antibiotics may also be taken. Apply antibiotic with steroid cream on the lesions. Avoid soap bath, and you may use Detail liquid. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
