What Causes Itching And Soreness On The Upper Chest And Back?
I have itching and soreness on my upper chest and back. I went to a dermatoligst, he said it is not a skin problem. the itch wakes me up every 2 or 3 hours. it has spread over the last few months to below my arm pits. I have had this problem for a couple of years, it started as a small area on the top of my back.
Some advice that I can give to you is: - Take oral antihistamines - Use Calamine lotion for local relief - If you don't feel better take prescribed Corticosteroids
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
