What Is The Remedy For The Itching Along The Left Shoulder On The Area Of Stretch Marks?
I have had itching along my left shoulder for about 3 years. The only thing visible is scratch marks that I have given from scratching. Have consulted a dermatologist and used prescription cream but hasn t helped. I ve changed detergents as well as bath soaps. I try to only use tepid water when bathing and have tried many lotions and creams with almost no relief. It is getting to be very irritating and uncomfortable.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to contact dermatitis.
I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine.
Also, suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
