                                            Question : Skin problem, itching on back
                            
                                    Brief Answer:
Can you elaborate more with pictures if possible
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Based on your short history I can suggest that it could be allergy.
But if you can send some pictures, and elaborate more like how long is the rash, any fever, any other symptoms like vomiting or pain, etc.
It will help to answer more specifically.
For now, you can apply calamine lotion twice daily after bath.
I also suggest antihistamines like cetrizine syrup 3 ml twice daily for 4 days for such patients in my clinic.
Do get back with details.
