HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such itching symptoms could be pruritus and it can be managed with "Tab Hydroxyzine 10 mg" three times in day, it may little more time to come around, given tests are nothing to do anything with this, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
