What Is The Cure For Itching In Different Parts Of The Body?
I've been getting a itch on different parts of my body. It starts as a small bump and it grows very large; and itches. I get it on my legs as well. My doctor thought it might be staff infection (Nothing has bitten me). My doctor Rx me an antibiotic and Desoximetasone cream but it did not work.

Hi itching all over the body which starts as a small bump can be scabies.prurigo nodularis or abcd.first rule out scabies as it is commonest one causing itching all over the body in tropical countries.
It can be cured by atarax 25 mg at night.allegra 180 mg in the morning .application of moisteriser all over the body along with diprovate g ointment over the lesions .
If there is no response use short course of steroids starting with 30 mg of wysolone tapering upto 10 mg within 15 days
