How Can Allergic Itching On The Skin Be Treated?

I have been to see 3 different doctors and 2 dermatolgists for the same thing, 2 derms said dry skin prescribed Tricialome cream . Since July of last year, I have been getting raised marks on my skin that looks like pimples sometimes and sometimes 1 sometimes several in the same area. My skin itches like something is crawling on my skin, I feel like a pin prick sensation sometimes, sometimes I feel fluttering on my skin sometimes I feel like a allergic reaction itch. The itch is usually the same all the time, I have 1 good day 5 bad. I usually get these pimple like things on my scalp, breasts, under breasts, neck and shoulders and buttocks. Very rarely any where else. I thought it was scabies, no and I have cleaned and cleaned, changed everything to senstive skin, no hot water, lotion twice a day, laundry soap clear and free. I was on meds that i thought was causing this, stopped taking them, nope. They keep giving me Tricialome cream again, vanacream. I thought maybe we had bed bugs no sign of them its been 8 months, I have cleaned carpets washed all the clothes in the house looked through everything never found a live bug in that time. My son who lives with me no spytoms at allI feel like I am losing my grip. I am on a daily athistamine and lotion with vanacream, I take 5 minute or less showers warm, no loffa dove senstive skin soap in privates ...PLEASE HELP

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history of allergic dermatitis, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply an emollient cream like Enmoist cream.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like Levocetirizine.
4. Other treatment options are oral and topical steroid given only after consulting a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
