Suggest Remedy For Itching All Over The Body

I have been itching all over my body really bad for 3 weeks now. I have tried everything possible but nothing has helped. I don t have no rashes, bumps, or anything, I mean, I do have some redness but that comes from me scratching really bad. What could be the cause for this??

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itching all over the body which is probably due to lowering down your immunity and making you prone for infection. It could be due to allergic reactions and contact dermatitis. Need not to worry. Take hot milk rich in turmeric as it will boost immunity. I would suggest you to apply wet cold sheets on your body to lower down body temperature and itchiness. Avoid hot, spicy and sharp food substances. Take diet rich in multivitamins and vitamin C. Your symptoms will resolve in 4-5 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist/ dermatologist once and get some routine blood investigation and skin patch test done.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
