Suggest Treatment For Crawling Itchy Skin With Pimples

I have episodes of crawling itchy skin with pimple like eruptions that get better but then resurface. At night I get the feeling somethings crawling on me even on my face and in my mouth, I usually wear long sleeves and pants and socks to bed to be able to sleep. Bathing and changing clothes and linens regular seem to help for a day or so, but I may feel the sensations again when I get into a closet or around alot of dust, etc.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of crawling itchy skin with pimples which to be due to allergic reaction leading to dermatitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start taking anti allergics medications such as Allegra. You should apply a steroid ointment like cortisone and application of calamine lotion will be effective to soothe the skin. Apply cold compresses and maintain proper cleanliness and avoid scratching to prevent infection. If symptoms still keeps on persisting you should visit dermatologist once and get it examined. Go for patch test and blood tests and start treatment after proper prescription.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
