Hello A.R. Srinivasa Rao,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:

1. Were I treating you, I would prescribe you an antihistamine like cetirizine/fexofenadine/hydroxyzine for at least 1-2 weeks (depending upon response).

2. Please avoid scratching at the itching areas as scratching will aggravate itching. I would suggest you to apply a lotion like calamine to the itchy areas.

3. In addition to above, personally I would suggest you to avoid wearing tight-fitting or woolen clothes. Loose-fitting, cotton clothes will be the best option in my opinion.

4. Please avoid activities that cause excessive sweating. Please avoid hot, spicy foods for a few days. These may help.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you a quick recovery and the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
