DOCTORS WARN: THIS FULL-BODY ITCHY RASH IN PEOPLE OVER 60 SHOULD NEVER BE IGNORED

It often begins quietly. A slight itch on the chest. A few red spots that look like a mild allergic reaction. Maybe some scalp itching that feels irritating but manageable. Many people dismiss these early signs, assuming it’s just dry skin, aging, a seasonal change, or something they ate. However, doctors warn that when a widespread, intensely itchy rash appears suddenly — especially in people over 60 — and is accompanied by facial swelling, it can be a serious warning sign that the body is reacting to something potentially dangerous.
