What Causes Severe Itchiness All Over The Body After Taking Avil And Zantac 300?

hi, i am 31 years old. I have been suffering from severe itching of skin along with swelling at all times of year from past 12 years. Doctors told me that i am having some blood related allergy. I kept using Avil and Zantac 300 from all these years. Recently i underwent a surgery for hemorrhoids. Is there any relation between the allergy and hemorrhoids.

When you have allergies, your immune system makes antibodies that identify a particular allergen as harmful, even though it isn't. When you come into contact with the allergen, your immune system's reaction can inflame your skin, sinuses, airways or digestive system. Hemorrhoids are enlarged blood vessels around the anus. Constipation, pregnancy, child birth, obesity, straining whilst lifting or vomiting contribute to development of hemorrhoids. Surgery is required for certain types of hemorrhoids. There is no relation between allergy and hemorrhoids. Both are totally different entities.
Advice
1.     Consult a skin specialist for perfect diagnosis of your skin condition. There are many causes of skin itching, although allergy is one of them
2.     If your skin problem is due to allergy then try to avoid allergens. For this you have to identify allergens. For this allergy test is available in some laboratory. Enquire it.
3.     Do not scratch too much. It will cause skin hypertrophy and pigmentation apart from infection.
4.     Tablet levocetirizine 5 mg daily if itching is unbearable.
5.     Apply calamine lotion daily for soothing effect.
6.     For management of hemorrhoids, follow your surgeon’s instruction
