Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is diabetes then blood sugar level need to be maintained on tight rule basis because uncontrolled diabetes may be the reason for itching, for the symptomatic relief this can be managed with "Tab Hydroxyzine 10 mg" three times in day, hope this information helps, take care.
