Suggest Treatment For Itching On The Body

I am very itchy. There doesn't seem to be a rash developing but I am itching really bad all the time. It's been happening for the last 2 weeks. Nothing has changed in my diet or topical stuff (soap, lotion, etc) but I have been drinking more alcohol lately.

Dear, you should take an antihistaminic for the itching along with that you can put lactocalamine lotion on the parts where it is itching more. alcohol can also cause allergic manifestation. you should stop alcohol intake & then check for the decrease in itching.
