[|Human|] My daughter keeps breaking out with what we think is poison ivy or something like that. She is iching all over and broke out with rash here and there. It is driving her crazy. Some one has told us that she should use some type of bar soap that is found in the laundry section of stores after she is finished mowing her lawn. Any suggestions. Thanks. Janet
[|AI|]  Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. She is suffering from allergic reaction which is causing rash & itching. If you had told the age then it would have been easier to discuss. If a patient comes to my clinic with same complaints then I would recommend following things:> First & most important thing is to rule out the cause of allergy. Some of the most common are dust, pollen, insect bite, allergy to some particular plant, food, etc.> After finding the cause you need to AVOID it.> She can wear long boots, gloves & cover her face with mask while working in garden.> For itch she can take cetirizine at night. > For repeated allergy I would recommend montelukast once daily for one month. Report to hospital if:> Condition remain same after 2-3 days> Any unusual symptom appears> Condition deteriorates.> There is difficulty in breathing. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wishing her good health.
