Question : A couple of weeks back, I raised a problem that is itching on feet and palms. Based on the doctor's suggestion I took Allegra 180 for close to 3 weeks, When I was using the medicine, I did not face itching but when as soon as I stopped the medicine again itching has started. Is there any alternative to know why this has become regular to me?
Please suggest.

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am Dr. Kakkar(Dermatologist). I have gone through your query and i have noted your concern.
Perhaps you have xerosis i.e dryness of skin thats causing itching.
I suggest you to use a soothing, moisturizing anti itch lotion e.g either Ritch Creamy lotion Or Venusia soft lotion, twice daily.
You may continue with Allegra tab. for another week.

Regards
