Suggest Treatment For Itchy Rashes On Thighs, Arm And Neck
My 85 yr old Mom in law has a terrible itchy rash that started on her left thigh,... She scratched it, it spread to her arms and now her neck. Her doctor didn't see her but the home nurse did and told her doctor , and was prescribed fexofenedine for 30 days... She has been taking her 60 mg twice a day for a week now, and it's worse as she still itches. What can be done to help her? Her doctor is booked till next week.

HI
Well come to HCM
Chances of atopic pruritus may be likely and in my opinion such case need to be managed with Tab Hydroxyzine 20 mg three times in day, if the symptoms does not improved then some investigation need to be done, hope this helps.
