Very itchy rash

Woke up this morning with a very itchy rash on my shoulders which is spreading across my body. This is a common side effect of Furosemide, and should be notified immediately. Its Saturday so no one with any knowledge of HF works or can be contacted. Anyone know what I could put on it until Monday?

If it should be notified immediately, I suggest you ring 111 and see what they advise. You might need to think about going to AandE

I have, at the moment, a very itchy rash across my body, I've had it for a number of weeks, eventually, last week, I went to the Doctors, I was prescribed an antihistamine suitable for people with heart problems also a blood test, which I am having on Tuesday, the Doctor is thinking malabsorption of B12.

I am desperate for an answer as the irritation is driving me mad, almost worse than pain.
