Suggest Remedies For Severe Itching
Oh hi - thanks - I am having horrible itching with no apparent reason - no rash, no contact with any poison plants. Do I need to be worried about this? Thank you so much ... My name is Sydney and I will be 65 this Sunday if my age might have any to do with this problem ..

Hi.
As per your case history of generalized itching, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
Thanks.
