dr as a temporary relief what can be done ? because sometimes it becomes difficult to sleep at night due to constant itching.. any moisturiser you recommend for it?
Brief Answer:
Can add chlorpheniramine maleate tab, venussia XXXXXXX lotion
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
In addition to Allegra, you can take tablet Chlorpheniramine Maleate at bedtime. It is safe in pregnancy.
You can apply Venusia Max lotion on the itchy skin twice daily as a regular moisturizer. If itching still persists, you can apply a topical steroid like Clobetasol Propionate cream diluted in the moisturizing lotion in the ratio of 1:3 on the affected areas twice daily for 7-10 days.
This will provide temporary relief.
Hope I have answered your query.
