Horrible RASH!.. please help..?!


Question: Horrible RASH!.. please help...?
okay so i got this rash starting wednesday ..
i put some cold water on it and it went away pretty good ..
(it was on my neck.)
but then i woke up thursday morning and it was like everywhere!
(face and neck especially)
it got worse and worse through out the day
and my eyes are all swollen!
i got a rash like this last year too (in the winter as well)
but not as bad and as itchy as this time.

what could this rash be and how's it caused.?
and what should i put on it.?

btw, i can't go to the doctor because my parents are working all day tomorrow.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
You can take over the counter benadryl which will help with the eye swelling which gives the indication of an allergic reaction. Are you on an antibiotic of some sort.? If you are, you need to stop taking it and your parents need to call your doctor about this. Any kind of lotion is also soothing for itchy rashes but the benadryl will help the most.Health Question & Answer

You are more than likely having a systemic allergic reaction to something. Allergic reactions can be life threatening. If your throat starts to swell you could die. You must find what has caused this problem and avoid it. Think food, especially nuts, eggs, milk, meats, fish, in other words proteins. Not all allergic reactions happen when you are eating, some protein allergies can start a hour after eating and some start right away. You should go to the emergency so your doctor has a record of your reaction and you are sent home with a epi pen and instructions on how to use it. (an epi pen is filled with adrenaline and it decreases the effects of an allergic reaction for about 15 minutes, long enough for most to get to the emergency dept of the nearest hospital) you should also take benadryl for allergies. The emergency is now, and your parents should take you to the hospital, now.Health Question & Answer
