How Can Body Itching Be Treated?
My dad is 86 years old and he had been experiencing 6 months of itching. He has been to 5 different doctors, last update is allergic to rice and eggs??? Which he does not eat a lot of. What else could it be, blood work seems to be fine he is miserable.

hello, thanks for consulting HCM:)
from the history it might seems to be chronic urticaria/hives. it would have been helpful if upload some images of leisons. If the cause cannot be identified, even after a detailed history and testing, the condition is called chronic idiopathic urticaria. Using lothin CALADRYL thrice daily, & Tab Monti-FX od HS and skin moisturizer helps. Increase Tab MontiFX dose to BD if it does improve.
thanks and wish your dad speedy recovery:)
