Kindly share details

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Severe itching could be a result of many conditions like allergies to cosmetics, psoriasis, lichen, etc. It may also be due to kidney or liver disease.

Kindly let me know details of your symptoms
- Does it have any accompanied rash?
- Do you have any medicines, etc?
- Do you have any past history of allergies, diabetes, kidney or liver problem etc?
- Have you done any tests? If so kindly upload reports.
- What have you tried till now? How much did it work?

Meanwhile you can take an oral anti-allergic medicine like allegra and apply steroidal cream e.g betamethasone.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
