I just got this rash on my legs about a week ago and have been putting benadryl gel on it for the past 2-3 days. Its driving me crazy especially at night while im sleeping b/c it really starts to itch! I dont know where i got it from and thought it might be from the laundry degreant that my sister uses b/c she just gave me some socks and its like ever since ive worn them ive got this rash. I try not to itch it but it seems to be getting worse. Here is a picture of what it looks like.....can someone plz help me out and let me know what it might be? Embarrassed

No one here will be able to diagnose you over the internet, no matter how good the picture.

But I can tell you that if you mysteriously got a rash a week ago, have been applying anti-histamines for several days without improvement and it's still driving you mad, it's definitely worth seeing a doctor.  It sounds like you need something stronger to make it go away.

Feel better

Your problem is hopefully gone by now but...for you or anyone else...

Apple cider vinegar=ACV will take care of just about any itch you have. I use it for any bug bite I get and have even used it for poision ivy/oak. The ivy/oak stopped itching with one application of half ACV half water, stayed red a few days then went away. If DFB would have applied again it might have gone away sooner---but the itch stopped immediately. The bug bites I use 1-3 times and it takes care of them, even if i break skin from itching cause I couldn't get to the vinegar first. I get relief after applying and the next time it itches I apply again. At the most has been 3x. If I wonder will it burn I will dilute it otherwise I just use it straight and usually no sting involved. I use this stuff for just about everything.
