How Can Itching On The Thighs And Upper Arms Be Treated?
I changed into my pajamas last night in our extra room and when I got to bed, my foot on the side started itching really badly. When I woke up this morning, it seemed like I had been bitten. I could tell there was another bite. Then when I got to work I noticed that there was a bite on my upper arm that was itching me. Later on in the day still at work, my thigh started itching.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I have gone through your complaints and it could be an insect bite hypersensitivity reaction. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet cetrizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
