All over body rash

I started using bacitracin after a laser treatment for tattoo removal.  I developed a rash over my legs and now i see it on my arms and the back of my neck.  In the past i developed an allergy to neosporin.  I take meds for graves disease and i was told the rash can be from the pills but i don't beleive that.  Can you help me.

Hi,

Nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesions.

This could be due to the laser treatment or allergic reaction to bacitracin or neosporin.This could be an allergic reaction to some unknown substance or dermatitis or eczema or some bacterial skin infection.

Do you take a healthy balanced diet? It would help to take vitamin and mineral supplements to replace any deficiencies - which could cause these symptoms. Keep the areas well moisturised.

You need to wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites.

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.

It would be advisable to consult a skin specialist for your symptoms and a proper clinical examination.

Let us know if you need any other information and post us on how you are doing.

Regards.
