Dear Raj,hello
dexona injection which contains dexamethasone, a steroid, will improve itching due to any allergy. But steoids have their own side effects, some of them really dangerous if taken for long time. So my advice is that don't repeatedly take dexona injection without medical advice. So consult a good Dermatologist if previous medication is not working.
Thanks.
