Suggest An Alternative To Zyrtec Tablets For Itchy Pimples

I am a 69 year old female. I have had itchy pimples on my skin for about a year. I ve been to a dermatologist and used the medicines they ve prescribed but itchy skin persists. I ve also had the skin test and have eliminated possible allergens but to no avail. I take Zyrtec day and night for itching. What else can I do? Ana Bowman
