Having Severe Itching After Bathing, Diagnosed As Eczema. Taking Allergra. Will Histaglobin Injections Help?

I am 70 yrs old male, and suffering from Itching on the main body after morning bath for the last 3 months. My Doctor has diagnosed it as eczema. He has already administered me with Allegra 180 mg and XYZ Al Tablets for the last 5 weeks. Now he is suggesting Histaglobin Injections . Is it OK OR some other medication can be tried ?

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for choosing H.C.M.F.
You are getting itching of the body only after the bath, so you must be allergic to the things you are using to take bath. like soap, shampoo, any thing to add to water while taking bath.
Eczema should always be with continuous itching, and more in some occassions like taking bath etc. It should contain dark coloured patches.
I advise you to avoid the soap and shampoo you are using so far and change to some other brand. avoid using seafoods like fish, prawns, and crabs etc.
I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Wishing for a quick recovery.
Best regards.
