Suggest Remedy For Itchy Skin

I have severe, constant itdhing of the skin. Have been unable to determine the cause. Nothing has been changed in diet, laundry detergents, etc. The itching seems worse during the night, causing night sweats, dampness of undershirt. Dermatologist has given me AMMONONIUM LACTATE CREAM, 12% to use twice daily and it seems to burn when applied.

Hi,

It may be hives or urticarial rash. As the first line of management, you can take antihistamines like Pheniramine for symptomatic relief. Also, apply Calamine lotion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
