Suggest Treatment For Burning And Itchy Skin

I have really itchy skin it burns all over me. I also keep finding these black things all over my body even in my ears. When I take them off of me they don t move. However where i am itching an burning on my skin that is where they are. Some of them are as tiny as a decimal point. When I wake up I find them in my bed. Also I have developed some incredibly dark bumps in my top inner thighs. I don t know what to do because every time I ask my doctor she says it is nothing.

Hello,

Itchy skin and dark bumps on inner thighs can be indicative of contact dermatitis. Avoid staying around chemical or chemical fumes that triggers your symptoms. Do not use chemical cosmetics, use herbal beauty products, herbal skin and herbal hair care products. Take care of your hygiene and wear loose fitting cotton cloths. You should not share your toiletries with anyone.

Stay away from food, herbs, pollutants, fumes, poison ivy, etc. You can take antihistamines to help control symptoms of allergy like itching, burning, etc. Do not touch, scratch or pick. Apply ointment hydrocortisone on the area affected. It will reduce itching.

To get relieve from burning sensation and pain you can take acetaminophen, one stat when needed. You can apply ointment Soframycin after shower or bathing for relief. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP, get STD tests done to detect herpes or other underlying skin condition. If reports are found to be positive, you will be treated with acyclovir ointment and antibiotics/antiviral medications.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
