[|Human|] I am a surgical technologist and I am required to wear scrubs. I started my contract 8/2/15 and within days I noticed a rash on my upper back and upper chest. Here it is going into October and it seems to be getting worse. It itches a little and I take benadryl for it. I don t have insurance or I would run to the doctor. Other staff had the same issue but there s resolved after a couple of weeks. Any suggestions?
[|AI|]  Hi, Rash over any part of the body is seen with release of histamine or with some types of cell or immune mediated reactions. This can cause rash, redness, itching, and pain. Some rash may bleed as well. Most people find the following useful for the rash. Icing the area using a cold pack, using calamine lotion, and keeping the skin Chat Doctor.  It might also be a good idea to wear another layer of clothing between the skin and the scrubs to help reduce the chance of rash.  In case the symptoms persist, using over the counter anti-histamines may help.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
