Pruritis

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

It looks like you have developed an allergic reaction to either something you have touched or something new you might have eaten. Here are my suggestions to you

1. Tab avil is the ideal drug to be taken two times a day for 4 days
2. aloe Vera cream to be applied over the itchy area three times a day
3. try and recall what might have caused this problem either new soap, new furniture, pets, plants, etc and avoid it from next time

if the issue does not settle down please see a general practitioner as soon as possible

I hope I was of help

regards
