Brief Answer: Itchy skin condition : Can be neurodermatitis Detailed Answer: Hi, I understand your query regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same. Now from your description, I can think of two possibilities. The first thing is neurodermatitis of skin and the second thing is macular amyloidosis. See both of these are essentially harmless conditions which are basically itchy in nature. I would like to know if there are any skin changes in the overlying skin. Even if there is any pigmentation or redness, I would like to have a close look at the skin. Do click some close up pictures of the skin ( if there is any change) and upload them here on this page. You can also mail the same at YYYY@YYYY with heading as ref to Dr Geetika Paul. Now as far as the treatment is concerned, it essentially consists of application of strong topical steroid over the skin. Something like beclomethasone or clobetasol should help. In addition, you should always keep the skin moisturized. Use some good moisturizers or oils over the area two or three times a day. You can also apply the same whenever there is a sensation of itching. In both of these conditions, the more you itch, the more is the damage to the skin. These events lead to even more itching. So you have to learn to control the sensation of itching. You can take some oral antihistamines along for few days. Hope it helps, Dr Geetika Paul
