<human>: I started itching this afternoon at work. I get home and have red welts all over, driving me crazy itching, it put itch cream on, it stops it for a few minutes and starts up again along with burning, I have no Benadryl, is there something else I can try to stop the itch and burning?
<bot>: Hi. The rash could most probably be an urticaria (hives). But there are other possible diagnoses too. You could take an antihistamine tablet and apply calamine lotion for a week. Try to find out the causative agent for the rash, the most common being Chat Doctor.  If you do not get any improvement in a week, you should consult your dermatologist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
