Suggest Remedies For Recurring Itching All Over My Body

For about 1 month now, I ve had itching on various areas of my body--armpits, behind knees, lower back, under breasts, between upper thighs, etc. I DO have diagnosed eczema, but never before have I had it in these area...and the lesions look different. Altho it s not always active in all areas, it seems to keep coming back. I have tried a lot of lotion, then I tried some anti-fungal powder, but nothing is relieving it. Any suggestions of what it might be?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of recurring itching all over body which is probably due to lowering down your immunity and making you prone for infection. It could be due to allergic reactions, fungal infections and contact dermatitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply wet cold sheets on your body to lower down body temperature and itchiness. Take hot milk rich in turmeric as it will boost immunity. You should apply corticosteroid cream on body areas. Avoid hot, spicy and sharp food substances. Take diet rich in multivitamins and vitamin C. Your symptoms will resolve in 4-5 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting dermatologist once and get some routine blood investigation and skin patch test done. You should start treatment after proper diagnosis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
