zyrtec

Avatar n tn The only thing I've done differently at that time started taking Zyrtec for allergies.
Avatar f tn I was told to take zyrtec. Now I have a rash on my upper thighs. Is it the generic zyrtec? Would the regular Zyrtec do the same? Have you ever heard of Diamox being prescribed for Meneire's disease? I find nothing in the literature about it and am hesitant to take it as it makes me very tired. I need to sleep about 3 hours a day when I take it. I don't want to experience vertigo again.
Avatar m tn Treatment is with Corticosteroid ointments applied on the rash for a short period of time to reduce the skin inflammation. Claritin and Zyrtec are anti-histamines which provide relief from symptoms like itching.
Avatar n tn what is safe for a woman in her 3rd trimester to take l for an itchy rash she is allergic to benadryl
Avatar n tn For nearly the past 7 years i have had a horrible rash that comes on from from the current known causes -heat -anger -speaking in front of many people -being singled out things i feel from this -Very itchy -feel warmer the normal -lose a lot of concentration now, the picture shown is WITH the medication zyrtec in my system. Without the medication the rash becomes hives and is much worse. Ive seen several doctors but they all seem to just make the similar thing happen.
1186479 tn?1264450509 Hello, I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be infected hair follicles, sweat dermatitis, heat rash or contact dermatitis. Take some antihistaminic like Benadryl or Zyrtec and apply some calamine lotion on the itchy areas. If the symptoms persist then you may need topical and oral steroids. Please consult a dermatologist in that case.
Avatar f tn only medicine I take is the occasional Zyrtec for allergies, and I self-administer allergy shots (not build-up therapy, just toleration therapy) once or twice a week. I avoid wheat/gluten and don't eat any refined or added sugar. Any help you can provide would be amazing!
Avatar n tn Hi there! The past year or so I've had health issues. I had a rash for months on my chest the wouldn't go away with steroid injections. It would flare up worse with exposure to the sun. With blood testing they said I had a positive ANA 1:1000 (cant remember the exact 1000 #). So my GP sent me to Rheumatologist and Allergist. They gave me no diagnosis except try taking 4 Zyrtec a day by Allergist. They also said to come back every 6 months for blood work. The rash did go away eventually.
Avatar f tn Hey everyone I am 36 weeks into my pregnancy and last week I broke out into a rash. It was just an itch at first and now its leaving bumps all over my body :'( its making me feel ao self conscious and sad I've even cried a couple of times. I take cold showers and put aveeno lotion and it helps but then I'm stinging and I look like I have chicken pox. But my doctor gave me blood work results and said it was just a rash but I don't know what else to turnto.
Avatar f tn Hello, If it is resembling welts, then it can be due to hives. Take antihistaminics like Benadryl or Zyrtec for the itching and apply some mild steroid cream on the rash. If the symptoms are worse then you may need oral steroids. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn My dr says that I have heat induced hives and put me on 24 Zyrtec and 25mg of Benedryl. It worked for about a month and now I'm breaking out in hives again when I exercise. I haven't had any allergy tests done yet. A fitness friend of mine thinks that I might have a build up of toxins and when i sweat the toxins are being released. I haven't talked with my dr about that yet. Is there any truth to this? I do drink a good bit of regular soda.
Avatar n tn I currently have her on Zyrtec and that seems to help with the itching, but the rash is just as red and angry. No cream I've tried (including prescription cortisone) seems to help much. Now she won't let me put anything on her skin except a spray moisturizer. I noticed this evening it is spreading to her trunk (which up to now has been clear)... I'm trying to determine what this may be... we have an appt.
Avatar n tn dermatologist has taken a skin biopsy which came back negative and told my husband to just stay out of the tub for 2 weeks. rash seemed to dissipate and last nite he went back into the tub at about 90 degrees and didn't even turn the jets on high. rash came back almost immediately. i don't think the dermatologist we are seeing has any idea what is going on. any one out there have any suggestions????
Avatar m tn 10th week,, I had rash out of no where.. Maybe an allergic rash... BUT I never had allergic rash for a long time, like when I was a baby.. And now... Not much of a symptom but may be a drug side effect, diarrhea.. My story is I had protected sex and unprotected oral from a high risk person (I guess). Havnt have sever symptoms up until 8-10 week time frame. But symptoms do disappeared the next day (for example.
Avatar m tn hi there, i have rashes too after sweating or exposing to heat. do you get it from other circumstances?? for example like after shower or swimming???
Avatar f tn I have had a severe sinus infection for about 5 days, with the nausea, disorientation, fever, night sweats, headache..... but yesterday when I woke up, I had a rash across my upper arm, shoulder, upper back, quadriceps and thighs. It looks like a heat rash, but is persisting... Although I'm feeling a bit better, and my sinuses are almost cleared, I've developed a pain in my upper right teeth today as well... Is the rash possibly related to the sinus problem?
Avatar n tn From the description it seems that the cause for itch is a rash which can be eczematous, dermatitis (atopic, contact, and allergic), heat rash, excessive sweating, folliculitis, or psoriasis, infection (tinea) or some medical condition like SLE. Urticaria, also commonly called hives may be related to allergy, stress (emotional/physical), heat, cold or exercise. You should try moisturizing lotions and some over-the-counter antihistaminics like cetirizine or loratidine.
Avatar n tn I am 22 yr old gay male, and I have had red spots appearing and disappearing on my torso, inner arms, and thighs for the last week and a half. They disappear when i am sleeping and when I take allergy meds they fade away a little bit. If I go to the beach or take a hot shower they tend to get very red and the numbers multiply. It seems to be affected by the heat. They do not itch nor bother me besides the discoloration of the skin.
Avatar m tn I thought it might be a heat rash as I had just worked out and had on my sports bra. Then I noticed today on my stomach I have a fe more and they are itchy at first then turn to small scabs and then stop itching. I feel fine so I dont think its related to Tramadol but didnt start until four days after I started taking it. I have taken it before with no reaction.
Avatar m tn Next day I started taking Zyrtec. Itch stopped but rash still continued to appear and disappear especially on my neck, arms, and hands. It appears mostly when I finish my shower even though I don't use hot water in shower. I did blood test days ago, I have ALT = 51 which is over the limit (46). Months ago my ALT was 26. I stopped using Zyrtec, and my doctor told me to use Atarax. However, its been a week and the rash is still the same. I am very worried about it. What shall I do?
