How Can Severe Itching All Over The Body Be Treated?
My son is suffering from severe itching over his entire body. It has been going on for nearly four weeks. We are at our wits end trying to get him some relief. Any ideas? Please help! We have tried everything from cold showers, to OTC things such as Benadryl and Allegra, to prescribed prednisone and vistaril. Nothing helps!

Hello
It depends on the cause of the itching. Sometimes no agent is found unfortunately.
Steroids help mostly
