Suggest Treatment For Itching On Arms
Question: how can I control a terrible itching in my arms?
Brief Answer:
Try Benadryl or Zyrtec!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this itching you have reported.If it is of recent onset, I suggest you try Benadryl or Zyrtec at doses recommended by your pharmacist. These are potent medications and would be very helpful. Please, keep me updated. It can be taken safely alongside the hydrocortisone ointment. Both would offer greater relief than just one alone.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be.
