Suggest Treatment For Body Itching

Hi, I have been itchy all day today and yesterday. I got no sleep last night. I itch mainly on my upper body (waistline and above). I have not changed anything in my routine except rubber band for my braces with latex, but I ve never had an allergic reaction to other latex products. I have also checked for bed bugs, with no bed bugs.

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of body itching. Well symptoms occurs due to allergic reaction, compromised immunity of body and due to increased susceptibility. Need not to worry. You should avoid touching or pricking these rashes. Drink plenty of fluids. Take diet rich in multivitamins. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination without any delay , because it can lead to anaphylactic shock sometimes . Doctor may give adrenal shot or prescribe antihistamine . For now take benadryl and apply cold compresses to affected area , which relieved swelling and itchiness .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
