Skin Rash, Itching All Over The Body. Taking Levocetrizine. Tried Alternative Medicine. Diagnosis?

I am facing issue of skin rashes since the past 4-5 years. I get itching on my body, especially back of the shoulder, hands, thighs; and wherever I itch, that place on the skin becomes red and gets a bit swollen. To overcome the same, I have to take Levocetrizine tablets every 3-4 days. The frequency of taking the tablet varies depending on the season(less tablets in winter, more in summer). I have tried allopathic, homeopathic and ayurvedic medicines for permanent treatment of the same, but to no avail. Once I visited a homeopathic clinic for a free consultation for hairfall, and they detected "Seborrheic Dermatitis", however I did not go ahead with any treatment, hence not sure whether that is actually the case or not. Age: 28 Sex: Male Other problems: Allergic rhinitis since a long time, sensitive skin & lowoverall immunity. Residence: Vadodara, GUJARAT, INDIA

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Your history suggest you are suffering from allergic rhinitis(AR) and dermatitis. Avoid allergens, Can continue wit levocetrizine every night one tab and apply topical steroid for the lesion that will help you. For AR can take mometasone nasal spray. If severe wit AD, then can get done skin prick test to find the allergen and immunotherapy can be given for complete management which cover for both AR and AD. Have proper sleep, plenty of fluids, nutritious diet with required calorie and regular outdoor exercises for your wellbeing.
Hope I answered your question. Consult your doctor for further examination and management.
Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
