I have recently developed a rash over most of my body. It is just like pimples (no puss) over my back, sides and, arms and legs. It is very very itchy and I can't sleep well without constantly scratching it.

I have tried medicated powder to no avail. I would like to know what it might be and how I can get relief.

Optional Information:
DUNKIRK, New York

Already Tried:
MEDICATED POWDER HOT TUB

ACCEPTED

What you have sounds to be either hives (not as bad) or shingles ( a little worse condition). both are treatable and need to be diagnosed by a dermatologist or Neurologist. Dermatologist would be your best start.

I have included links to both conditions.

Hives:

Shingles:

I would suggest seeing a dermatologist to better diagnose you for this condition.

If I may be of further assistance please reply.
