What Causes Itching Sensation On Torso And Scalp?

For three weeks I have been extremely itchy on my torso and and scalp. I think it started when I wore a strapless bra for a wedding and the bra had a rubbery lining that really irritated my skin. I have seen a dr and am taking prednisone. I have been on it for almost 10 days. and the med has had no effect. I have no itchiness on my legs or arms, but I am really uncomfortable on my torso and back of my head. YYYY@YYYY

HI
Well come to HCM
Such itching symptom could be due to hypersensitive reaction and this kind of phenomenon well responds to second generation antihistamine and drug of choice would be "Tab Levocetirizine 10" three times in day some time this would come around even without the medicines but may take some time, no need to worry about this, hope this information helps, take care.
