Suggest Treatment For Severe Itching On The Head And Dry Skin

mI m dealing with itching problems mainly on my head, forehead, eyebrows and ears, and sometimes all over my bomdy, for about a year. It s not dry skin, no food allergies (my doctor had me tested), no leaver or kidney problem, no dandruff, there is no rush or any symptoms other than itching. I already changed shampoo, body wash, lotion, loundry soap, etc. and nothing happened. My doctor has been treating me for allergy with over the counter band prescription drugs, but nothing is working. I already took Zyrtec, Allegra, Singulair, Claritin, some kind of injections, etc. No results. I decided to see a dermatologist; he said it is some kind of desorder that causes the brain to sand a wrong signal to the skin that something is happening there, when nothing is happening. In another words, miscommunication between the brain and the nervous system. He prescribed Zyrtec at bed time and Allegra in the morning for 4wks to shut down everything and correct the problem. I had it for 6wks and didn t work. I have been suspecting of everything, but so far I have no clue of what is causing this. Today something came to mind: I started to suspect of refrigerator odorless gas leaking. Why? Because this usually starts after I get at work. In my office I just have a computer, a book shelf, a mycroscope and a refrigerator. Could this be the problem?

Hi,

First, let me tell you that dry skin some dust allergy is there are certain conditions which cannot be diagnosed but have a problem with it itching.

So if you are saying that there is gas leakage from the refrigerator and you are working with a table and computer chances are there something is there in your refrigerator gas leaking or computer so it's better to have to check it and have a hot water bath everyday separate towel and maintain your hygiene properly.

If necessary you can take tablet Cetirizine or tablet chlorpheniramine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
