General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Welcome to HCM
Hello,Itching may be due to
1.Infections
2. Bites and stings
3. Infestations
4. Chronic diseases
5. Sun exposure
6. Dry skin
7. Pediculus humanus corporis
Consult a dermatologist who may run some tests and advice you with anti-itch creams and lotions containing camphor, menthol, phenol, pramoxine (Caladryl, Tronolane), diphenhydramine (Benadryl), or benzocaine .Some cases of itching will respond to corticosteroid medications,antihistamines
You can apply cold applications: Because cold and itch travel along the same nerve fibers, the use of cold can "jam the circuits" and deaden itch.
Stop itching this will worsen the condition also bring on bacterial infection
Thank you
