How Can Chronic Itching In The Jaws And Chin Be Treated?
Sure. I have asthma and several allergies, take allergy shots and am careful to avoid things that I know I m allergic to. I have chronic itching problems. Recently the itch has been mostly on the jawline, sometimes the chin. Nothing I ve tried has alleviated it. Can you help me with a suggestion?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As you already have allergy problems the problem of itching of skin of jawline and chin seems to be most probably due to allergic reaction causing urticaria. So you should consult an Allergist and get checked so that the allergen can be ruled out. As you are already known allergic and in case if the medications like anti-allergics like Benadryl or Levocetrizine is not helping with curing allergy then you can opt for steroid shot for relief. If the symptoms are too frequent then you can discuss about Immunotherapist about Immunotherapy procedure as it can help in reducing the allergy symptoms gradually to less severe.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Honey Arora
