Suggest Remedy For Itchiness And Rashes Caused By Tick Bites

My friend developed rashes on her skin, which was diagnosed as Papular Urticaria by the dermatologist, caused by tick bites. He prescribed Propygenta NF cream, but when she applies the cream on the rashes, the itching increases. Please help. Regards, Sriram

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

I suggest her to also take an oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine tablet once a day for symptomatic relief from itching. She may continue with the cream.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
