Suggest Remedy For Recurring Bouts Of Itching All Over The Body
Ever since January, there have been times when my whole body itches. It usually happens for an hour. There have been times it was more than an hour. I tried changing sheets, looking at what I ve been eating, the products I use, and nothing has changed. There have been a few times when my skin turned red, but it doesn t happen all the time. Is there anything else I should try?

Hi,
You can go for allergic test to rule out the allergen. Use lukewarm water for bathing. Use hypoallergenic soaps. Taking Combination of antihistamines like Levocetirizine and Mast cell stabilizers like Montelukast daily will be helpful if all those measures doesn't work.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
