Suggest Remedy For Severe Itching In Body
I am a 70 year old female, and have recently experienced severe itching in various places on my body. It s usually one place at a time, less than 6 inches in diameter. The itch appears out of no-where and the skin shows no redness, marks or swelling - until I scratch. I ve been using Ketoconazole 2% cream to calm the itch, however this doesn t always remedy the painful itch. Any ideas?

Hi
Welcome to HCM.
Don't worry we may sometime itch without any reason also. At your age skin becomes dry and itches sometime. Apply moisturiser frequently over your body. Apply calaminol lotion on site of itching. Good luck
