I’m Experiencing Head To Toe Itching, And I Have Small
Question: I’m experiencing head to toe itching, and I have small red spots on my breast. My mother died of inflammatory breast cancer. I just had my six month check up my labs were normal. Liver and kidney levels were within normal limits. It is Saturday I will not be able to see a Physcian at earliest Monday. Please give me some feedback
Brief Answer:
Looks like an allergic reaction.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and Welcome to Ask A Doctor service. I have read your question and here is my advice.
This looks that you have got some allergy. It's not related to breast malignancy or other serious problem. I just wonder if you have taken any new medicine or any new clothing that might have causes this allergy ( if yes, we need to stop it ). The red spots on the breasts also look to be a part of the allergic reaction. I would advise you should take some anti allergic pill like cetirizine ( Zyrtec ) along with a soap bath. Avoid sun for a while .hope this would help you.
Another possibility is 'scabies, This is special to be considered if anyone among your contacts has also itching. Otherwise, it's unlikely. If anyone else has itching, then it's very likely to be scabies and we prescribe permethrin lotion to be applied in the whole body.
Hope this answer helps you. Please don't hesitate to ask anything else you need to know. kind Regards Dr Rahman...
