What Causes Itching And Pricking Sensation In Fingers And Chest?

I am feeling itching and pricking sensation in fingers and chest which lasts for few seconds and go away. After sometime it again repeats. Also I can see very small bumps on my index and middle fingers, not red in color. It has made my skin also very rough. I have been taking Cepodem XP 32 for past 3 days and it started after that. Doctor prescribed me Cepodem for 5 days. Is my itching related to it? I am wondering if it is safe to continue?

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

In my opinion the symptoms are suggesting allergic reaction. Did symptoms appear after taking some particular food, insect bite? If yes then these are most probably because of allergy. Following measures will help to reduce the severity:

> cetirizine one at night for 5 days.
> Avoid scratching else scar may form.

Report to hospital if:
> Condition remain same after 2-3 days
> Any unusual symptom appears
> Condition deteriorates.
> There is difficulty in breathing.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
