Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had herpes in 1949 and had scarring on my cornea. Eventually I had corneal transplants (3). I have managed to live well, have a lovely family and am a healthy (?) 83 year old. I now have itching in patches on my back. Please tell me there s no connection.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, the present history of itching is nothing to do with the past medical history and this is nothing to worry, such rash could be due to hypersensitivity, and it can be managed with any antihistamine, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
