Suggest Treatment For Itching In Legs After Bug Bites On The Beach
I have about 200 no see um bug bites from stepping on a beach for about 5 minutes. The dr gave me a steroid shot & a prescription for hydroxyzine. This was a week ago and my legs are stilly very itchy. I ve tried cortisone cream, witch hazel, aloe.,oatmeal base paste and cream. Any suggestions?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, such itching could be emotional stress mediated and in my opinion better to continue "Tab Hydroxyzine 10 mg" three times in day, you need to continue it for long time, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
