Hi Patrick,
Thanks for writing in.
the condition can be scabies,dermatitis herpetiformis, urticaria etc.
You can take tab Zyrtec twice daily .Apply a cooling ,soothing lotion like calamine lotion twice daily.
Curative treatment can only be given after proper diagnosis is made.
Visiting a dermatologist clinical examination ,skin biopsy will help a lot.
Hope this helps.
