General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. It can be due to allergy to something you exposed or eaten. Cetirizine is comparatively safe drug. You can take it for 3 to5 days. Dryness also can be a reason for itching. You can apply olive or coconut oil.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
