Suggest Treatment For Itchiness All Over The Body
I started itching miserably a week ago Monday, 8 days ago. Took off patch on Wednesday. Went to Doctor Thursday. He said I m allergic to it. Is that possible after wearing a patch for 6 consecutive weeks?? 8 days later, I m still miserable. He gave me a steroid shot and some steroids to take at home along with some Allegra. I m still itching. I ve been taking hydrocone for about 2-3 yrs also for chronic pain. Help!?! I can t handle the itch anymore!!!

Hello,
It may be due to allergic reaction.
For that you may apply hydrocortisone ointment locally.
For itching you can take tablet loratidine.
Avoid sweating.
Maintain proper hygiene.
In case of severe itching, breathing problem than you may require complete urgent medical care
Hope I have answered your query...
