Suggest Treatment For Red Itchy Spots On The Hip And Torso
My 83 year old mother is wakening in the morning with large round welts on hips and torso. Palms of hands very red and itchy burning. No new meds and nothing changed in diet and clothes soaps or skin lotions. It disappears in several hours and will also ease up after using Gold Bond anti itch cream.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms of your mother seem to be related to an allergic reaction. I suggest using an antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. I also suggest using a steroid cream for local application such as Betametasone cream.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
