Allergic reaction?
by Beverly9099, Sep 06, 2009 07:40PM
I have recently developed a red,raised,welp like,somewhat itchy rash on my side and my leg. It started on Thurs. I finally went to the Dr. on Sat. I was told it was an allergic reaction to ......something detergent,food,??? I was given a shot of steriod and an rx for 5 days of steroids. I am only on day 1 of PO steroids. Am I being impatient? There is no change in this rash. (note.. Where my bra strap goes there is no rash only above and below) I thought this was very strange. Thank you for any help. B. Miller

From the symptoms it looks like contact dermatitis or allergic reaction. You may try calamine lotion on the rash. You should also maintain hygiene and try to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting cotton clothing. Also use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid deodorant / cosmetics. You can also take some over the counter antihistaminic like Benadryl or Claritin. They will help in controlling itching.
If the symptoms persist then please consult a dermatologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
