First you need to stay on antihistamine until it is gone. Benadryl is great stuff. You should see a GP or allergist doctor. You definitely had a reaction to that sting and are still having it. Sounds like the ER ruled out anaphylaxis but you did have Benadryl in you so that I'm not sure about the results. Just stay on antihistamine on schedule to prevent something worst.
You should see a dermatologist about it. If it's itchy, a bit of hydrocortisone cream might help, as well as a little benedryl. Even if it's not itchy, the hydrocortisone would help with the red and swollen. You shouldn't use it long term without asking a doctor, though, because too much steroid cream can thin the skin, and they eyes already have thin skin. As for lotion, don't use it. Lotion has alcohol in it so it will dry fast, and can dry you out more.

Hello. I am becoming increasingly concerned with an ongoing issue I have. I am on prescription Omeprozole and have been for some time. It does a great job keeping heartburn and acid reflux away. However I have learned that I can't have dairy too close to going to bed. If I have ice cream or milk and lay down within an hour or two I wake up coughing and choking on acidic liquid. So I make sure I don't have dairy. Simple. However, the last couple of nights it's been happening anyways.
Hello,
Due to the suddenness of symptoms, the possibility of contact dermatitis or allergic reaction cannot be ruled out. You can apply an anti-itch cream or lotion to the affected area. Oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl can also be used. You should take a comfortably cool bath and wear smooth-textured cotton clothing. You should choose mild soaps without dyes or perfumes and use a mild, unscented laundry detergent when washing clothes, towels and bedding.
I was told it was pupps and was given a prescription for an antihistamine and some cream. The cream burns when I apply it and the antihistamine I am uncomfortable taking as it says not to take the in the 3rd trimester on the information. But without it I get so itchy what do I do?
s characterized by a leathery feel to it,and the skin is slightly peeling,more like flaking. Also,it burns like crazy when rubbing alcohol is applied to the area.I've never had such a rash before,and I'd really like some help in what it may be,and how to get rid of it.

I hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
But you may benefit from over-the-counter antihistamine medication. And it is important to avoid alcohol to prevent future outbreaks. Also, try to avoid scratching the rashes to prevent secondary infection.
To rule out allergy, I would recommend that you check with your dermatologist for allergy testing. You may not be allergic to the alcohol itself, but to the preservatives or additives found in the alcohol.
Take care and keep us posted.
You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.
For mild-moderate symptoms a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone as dermacort), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide).But they are available under prescription and should be taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Contact dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin caused by direct contact with an irritating substance, such as the razor or cream used. It results to an inflammation of the skin. Reactions may vary in the same person over time. A history of any type of allergies also increases the risk for this condition. Symptoms It presents with itching, skin redness or inflammation , tenderness of the skin, and skin lesion or rash at the site of exposure.
For the rashes, I was prescribed antihistamine (loratidine) and betamethasone cream(cortisteroids). I used the cream for 2 days and then stopped using but continued with taking the antihistamine. At 92 days post exposure, I again got tested for Hiv with Axsym hiv 1 and 2 ag/ab combo assay and it came out negative. My questions are:
1) Should i depend on all the tests that carried out.
Can someone please tell me what other creams do the same job as fucidin cream, I want an OTC cream for folliculitus on my penis?
The active ingredient is fusidic acid 2%.
The other ingredients are butylhydroxyanisole
(E320), cetyl alcohol, glycerol, liquid paraffin,
polysorbate 60, potassium sorbate, purified
water and white soft paraffin.
I believe it started maybe 6 months ago. It was a tiny cluster of 4 or 5 blister looking spots little bigger than a pen tip. Thought it was from work and elastic gloves grinding in my wrist. Shortly after it grew to red and about 1" down and covered left to right. It then moved to both wrists. After maybe a month of trying to not agrivate it at work it started to go away. Then it blew up covering both my inner forearms. With either small red spots or raise red blotches all over.
For the itch take an antihistamine to break the itch/scratch cycle. On the anus itself used a mild steroid cream like Hydrocortisone 0.5% When showering be very sparing with your use of soap down there. Congratulations on getting fit and losing weight.
hello. i used furacin cream for a wound on my leg and it caused an allergy on my whole body especially my penis was itchy. i used stilex gel and it relieved itching but later when i mastrubate there was some bleeding in glans because of friction when washed with soap and water i hurt alot again i used stilex gel and it relieved pain.after 2-3 days i realised skin doesnt strech adequately when penis erected the skin was tense it limited my erection as if my penis became smaller.
Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. You need to maintain a good personal hygiene .
Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin.
It would be advisable to consult a skin specialist for your symptoms and a proper clinical examination.
