Hello Hemant,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:

1. I would like to know about you in great detail like your age, itching symptoms, which parts affected, whether any rash, day/night variation, seasonal variations, type of your skin (dry/sweaty), triggering factors, whether relief by medicines, etc etc. These details would help me to know about your problem better and hence to make suggestions for you more specifically.

2. At present, from your provided history, I would suggest you to take an antihistamine like cetirizine or levocetirizine or hydroxyzine for control of itching.

3. I also suggest my such patients lotion such as calamine to be applied over itchy areas as well as dry skin.

4. Please do not scratch the itchy areas as it would aggravate the itching.

5. Investigations could be suggested only after knowing more details about you.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health ahead.

Thank you & Regards.
