What Causes Severe Itching Sensation On Body Inspite Of Using Cetaphil And Fluticasone?

my mother is 75 years old. For the past 2 months she is having itching with no rashes on arms body , thiah. we consulted 2 dermatoligist and took tablets ATARAX 25mg and Teczire 5mg , applied lotion Cetaphil and Fluticasone Cream IP and changed bath soap. But no use. There is no symptom of recovery. Then based on their advice we have done thyroid test and complete blood test. After that we found that she is having diabetes and 25-OH Vitamind D - 11.89 ng/ml - deficiency. Blood glucose (F) - 120 mg/dl and Blood glucose (PP) - 204 mg/dl. Then started Glycomet 250mg and Calcirol Sachet weely once. But still she is suffering severe itching and start weeping. Advice us.

hi, as you had mentioned, that she had an underlying cause (undiagnosed diabetes) for the itching.DIABETES can be suggestive, if a person suffers from severe thirst,excessive hunger,excessive tiredness /fatigue, lose of weight in a short period,severe itching over gentials or over any paart of body , sometimes associated with a fungal infections at covered areas of body.
she should be monitored with her blood gluocose levels frequently, and to continue T.Atarax ,once a day,T.Ranitidine TWICE A DAY along with her diabetic drugs .if still persists, she has to check her renal and liver function test.

Take care and good health
