Hello,My husband has itchy skin. It starts on his scalp at night, then his hands ,feet and groin area. the MD told him to take benadryl, dont use sented detergents and for me to stop using lysol spray on the bedding.He is now taking zyrteck D 12 hour. Some relief but what could this be?
Hi. As per your case history your husband is having prurigo simplex. My treatment advice is - 1. Avoid using any new products like soap or perfume as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild topical steroid lotion like beclomethasone lotion twice daily on itchy skin. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine for itching. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid and hydroxyzine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
