Itching Everywhere. Mixed Baking Soda With Shampoo. Allergy?
I have been itchy everywhere since sunday. I mixed baking soda with my shampoo the other day to get hairspray out. Could I be allergic to baking soda?

Welcome to HCM.It is possible that you are allergic to baking soda, though this does not usually occur.Avoid baking soda for some time and do a re-exposure on the inner side of the forearm,this will help confirm the allergy.Use of antihistamines like Chlorphenazine and Fexofenadine will help.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
This may be due to allergic to baking soada. Dont follow advices like these. It may worsen your condition. Now take antihistamine like levocetrizine and apply calamine lotion and consult your doctor for examination once. Have adequate regular sleep, plenty of fluids. Hope I answered your question. Consult your doctor for further management.
Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
