I've been experiencing some issues after using a bath salt that had Epsom salt or magnesium sulfate in it. Just a couple of days later, I broke out in these red, hive-like rashes all over my body. They're super itchy and have a burning sensation, and there are even some blisters popping up, though thankfully no fever, nausea, or trouble breathing. I'm really worried about how to treat this and also don't want any scars to be left behind. Could you advise on what I should do?

Clopivate cream for local application is advise for 7 days, if any side -effects dermatologist opinion is advised .
