Question

After using herbal powder bought online to soak my feet yesterday, I experienced severe itching on my hands and throughout my body. Scratching results in red and white spots. This condition is due to the use of this medication. What should I do? My feet are so itchy that I can’t sleep.

Answer

Hello, based on your description, you may have developed a medication rash due to an allergy to the medication. Firstly, you should immediately stop using the medication and take oral antihistamines for treatment. If the symptoms do not improve significantly, it is recommended that you visit a hospital for further examination and intravenous drip medication treatment. During the treatment period, please pay attention to a light diet and avoid consuming stimulating foods such as chili, garlic, and ginger.
