Posted on Tue, 8 Sep 2015
Question: I am in good shape for my age at 75. But I have this itching, on my face and head. Sometimes I'll break in a blister like pimple on my neck and chest. The itching is very unconfortable in the morning and late afternoon.
I take Allegra allergy med. It seems to help for awhile. Do I see an Allergist?

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Possibility of allergic skin disease is more in your case.
So you should definitely consult allergist and get done clinical examination and skin allergy testing for the identification of allergen.
Allegra is having fexofenadine. It is antihistamine.
Along with this drug, anti allergic (montelukast) is also helpful in your case.
So do discuss about this drug with allergist.
