Hello.

Thanks for writing to us.

Itchy skin can happen due to many causes like eczema, allergic dermatitis, scabies, etc. An examination from your dermatologist will confirm the diagnosis and will prescribe the drugs best for you. Many a times it has got a seasonal association also.



Meanwhile you can apply calamine lotion and a steroid(cortisone) based antiseptic cream on the area for symptomatic relief.

You can also take Benadryl or Actifed orally for the itching.



I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

Regards,

Dr. Praveen Tayal
