How Can Allergic Itching On The Wrist Be Treated?
From my wrist to my elbow the whole inside area is scratchy and bumpy from a variety of things I may have come in contact with at home and at work. It started with excessive alcohol use at work cleaning windows. Then reacted badly when I came in contact with tomato vines, just want answers to what I can take and also use as a cream to help the scratching irritation?

Hi,
You should take antihistamines until the scratches are dominated. Anyway, you have to do some blood tests to exclude a possible cause and if the blood test is fine with you to have to exclude a contact dermatitis which can be diagnosed by a Patch test.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
