What Causes Scratches On Stomach And Back After Sleep?

Hello, Over the last week ive been noticing that I wake up with what look like scrayches on my stomach and back. They are relatively painless unless i rub it that there is mild pain. I am unsure as to what could be causing this and any insight would be greatly appreciated. thank you, Kyle Cunningham

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

They could be because of dry skin. I suggest you to use a moisturizer regularly. In addition to that you may take an oral antihistamine e.g. Cetirizine 10mg tablet for a few days.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Kakkar S., Dermatologist
