What Causes Itching Around Neck, Face, Arms And Back?
I am the mother of a 4 month old baby. I am breastfeeding her. Tonight I suddenly developed itching over my neck, arms and back. Over my face too. I took 15drops of fenistil as it is an anti histamine. Its been 10 minutes s8nce then. Itching has subsided a little, but my throat feels heavy. Please advise.

Hi thanks for choosing HCM,
Only itching and rash on face, neck, arms and back..could be IRRITANT DERMATITIS and it is localised infection...may be due to either insect bite or exo allergens.
1) Tab Fexofenadine 180 mg daily.
2) Calamine application on affected part.
3) Tab Ofloxacin 200mg twice daily 3 days.
4)Betamethasone and gentamycin cream
on affected part daily night.
thank you.
