How To Cure Itchiness Of Skin?

Late yesterday afternoon after gardening I noticed my arm was itchy with many little colorless bumps, then my eyelid had an itchy bump, then two and my eyelid was swollen. Next morning I had a few on my face, then one on the other eye, all very itchy. I looked over my bed with a magnifying glass, but saw nothing. I've been putting poultices of plantain to stop the itch and swelling, but don't know what is causing this.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you have been bitten by some insect or bug in your garden that has led to allergic or anaphylactic reaction leading to the symptoms of raised bumps, swelling and itching sensation..
You should take anti allergics like Levocetrizine or Benadryl or Fexofenadine ( Allegra) for reducing itching and swelling..
Apply Steroid ointment over bumps to relieve itching and reducing Inflammation..
Do cool compresses..
In case if symptoms does not improve consult an Allergist or Immunologist and he can advise you to take injectable anti-allergics, Oral and injectable Steroid for faster resolution of symptoms..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
