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 have had a number of surgeries in the last couple of years and have been on a lot of antibiotics. Last surgery April 13/17. Since then I have been experiencing itching all over my body, Arms, body, neck, head legs. Kidney and liver function tests are normal and my CRP levels are low and don t indicate any infection. Am done all meds antibiotics as of a month ago. Looking for reasons for the itching
Thank you so much for your question. I'm sorry to hear that you had to receive many times of surgery. To discuss about your current problem, I want you to describe your ethnic and the residence you live. And how long have you been suffering these symptoms? I also want to know whether there are some changes on your skin, such as rash, redness, vesicles, ulceration etc. Have you done medical check-up for your blood sugar level to exclude diabetes mellitus? Any food or medication you are sensitive for? Any similar features in your family members? Itchiness may be due to a variety of diseases such as skin diseases, allergic reactions, worm infestation, autoimmune causes, liver and renal diseases(which you have mentioned to be normal) and so on. I'd be very greatful if you express a further more complete information. Wishing you the best of luck. Thank you so much.
