Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy skin. It could be due to allergic reactions , fungal infection , psoriasis and contact dermatitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take combination of anti histamine along with anti-inflammatory drug. Your symptoms will resolve in 4-5 days. I would suggest you to maintain proper personal hygiene , apply petroleum jelly to affected area , take over the counter anti histamine like benadryl and apply cold compresses on affected area. If condition doesn't get improve the consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order skin patch test , allergy test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe anti inflammatory , immunosuppressants and corticosteroid ointment .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
