Dengue rash treatment
I have been diagnosed with dengue 2 weeks earlier and once my fever subsides after a week , but there are rashes (convalescent rash- white islands in the sea of red) over my hand and legs and it is somewhat itchy.
it usually comes after the fever subsides.But I am not sure how long it will last.
Could you please guide how many days it will disappear.

As i wrote in the previous one it'll go away on its own but it seems your itch is related to something else. Usually it should've subsided by now though, you may use calamine lotion for the betterment of itch but usually these rashes subside on their own within a few days of fever. I wanna know is it itching in the extremities only or is it itching in other places too?
