Hi,
Thank you so much for using this panel to address your health questions. I am so sorry to hear about what you have been experiencing. I hope we find a drug that really relieves you of this itching.
From the description of your symptoms, this seems to be an allergic reaction(urticaria). I will like to suggest that you try any of the following OTC medications to get relieved of these symptoms(Loratadine,Fexofenadine ,Cetirizine Levocetirizine) or chorphenamine, diphenhydramine etc. Any will definitely be of great help. Please, read the drug notice appropriately to get the right dose and instructions as i have no idea which you will get easily to make specific recommendations.
Also, I will suggest you plan going in with your doctor to get a proper evaluation and treatment.If you also wish to know more about the condition I have mentioned above, please let me know.
Hope it relieves you soonest.
