Suggest Treatment For Severe Itching On The Ears, Face, Nose And Scalp

I am having iching around my ears, in my face, in my nose, in my scalp. I also get flushed with this. I can't wear my hair down but must keep it away from my face and off my ears as they get burny. This all started out with some bites from old hay, mites or jiggers maybe. I haven't iched any thing so the bites are going away now. As soon as i waked up the itching begins again. Sneezing happens too

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Your symptoms of severe itching of face, ear, nose and scalp along with flushing and burning sensation seems to be most probably due to allergic reaction causing Dermatitis..

You should consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and an Allergy test can be done to rule out what is exactly causing such reaction..

As of now you can take anti-allergics like Benadryl or Levocetrizine to control itching and burning and can apply Calamine lotion..
Wash your face with cold water many times a day and pat dry to reduce burning..
Avoid applying any chemical cosmetics or soaps over the face..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
