Itching, Little Burning Over Whole Body. Reason And Cure?
I have been itching and a little burning over my body for two days now. The burning has been in certain places. It usually starts late in the evening after I get off work. When I am lying down in bed at night. It triggers more and the air conditioner seems to cool my body down. Also, taking a shower also. It has been rather hot in my area where I live at. I don t know if the heat triggers it more or what.

Hi !
Thank you for your query.
I think you are suffering from urticaria because it is involving the whole body . I think you should consult a dermatologist for the same because examination of lesions is important for verifying the exact cause .
Till then you can take levocetrizine tablet for itching after consultation with your treating doctor and apply moisturiser over the skin.
Hope you are satisfied with the answer.
If you have any further queries feel free to ask.
Wish you good health.
Take care.

Hi, it appears to be due to some infection, and apperant when you are not busy, or it could be an allergy, but it will be with some bumps and red ness.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe, anti histaminic, like levocitrizine, penicillin V, and some anti fungal soap for bath purpose.
Thank you.
