What is the best allergy medicine for allegies that affect the skin? Rashes, itching and such?
Zyrtec? Clariton? SIngulair? Anyone out there get itchy rashes on face or hands and had it helped by allergy medicine?

The best advise I can give is identify the allergen or cause and get rid of it or avoid it completely.
If you don't mind getting drowsy – take Benadryl (I advise taking it just before going to bed)
You can also apply some anti-itch lotion or cream on affected areas.
Zyrtec will also help clear away the rash, and it won't make you drowsy.
Singulair is another class of anti-inflammatory/anti-allergy (generic name Montelukast), will also help.
If the rash doesn't disappear or becomes persistent and is accompanied by difficulty of breathing, dizziness, headache, fainting, consult the nearest ED.
