Suggest A Remedy For Itching All Over Body

Hi, for about 5 days now, my entire body is itching all over. I have tried medicated powder, drinking more water, Lotramin spray, olive oil, medicated creams. I have bumps forming all over, also. I have checked for bed bugs, all is clean. It started in my mid section and seems to be spreading, back, arms, legs. My face is not affected yet, any suggestions please?

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would suggest that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by a Dermatologist.

There can be a possibility of scabies, which can be confirmed by clinical evaluation.

You can take an antihistamine like Fexofenadine 180 mg once a day for relief from itching.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
