Hi
you have given a good description of the itchy rash 2 weeks duration .
if you put a picture of a part of your body where these itchy lesion could be viewed clearly , it will help me a lot to give the proper advice.
also i need to know some more
- your age ?
-gender ?
-Are you on any medication ?
-Do you have any other illness ?
currently you can use antihistamine tablet for itching e.g tab chlorpheneramine 4 mg before you sleep. Be careful it will make you a bit drowzy . so avoid driving after taking this medication , or avoid any dangerous machinery operating etc.
Hope this will be of some help to you .
For any more queries you are welcome to revert.
Thanks
