Ketoconazole shampoo and antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to use a ketoconazole shampoo twice weekly and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
