Itchy rash

2018-06-15 20:37:01
I took Plan B one step on Saturday the 9th. On Monday night I started breaking out in hives on my arms, and by Tuesday my arms and legs were covered in this super itchy rash. I have been taking benadryl and pepcid since then. As well as a topical 1% hydrocortisone cream. The rash is less itchy, but it is not going away. Could this be from plan B and will it go away? The rash looks like spread out bumps, and the bumps are are focused on the hair follicles. Could this be hormonal?
