Hi there and thank you for your response. The itching is not relegated to one area and there is no visible rash. It generally begins with a light burning and itching sensation in my palms and soles of my feet.
Can medicine present side effects two weeks after i stopped using it?
Hello,
An itchy rash which appears after taking a medicine and is cured by antihistaminics is likely due to an allergic reaction to the medicine. Other possibility would be a viral rash. You should 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 use calamine lotion and take antihistaminic like Benadryl for the itching.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
