Suggest Treatment For Severe Itchiness On The Eyelid And Scalp
My mom is 91. She is complaining of having itchy eyelids and head. She really enjoys cold water but doesn t seem overly thirsty and seems to adequate fluid intake. She is losing weight. She has always been a slow eater and usually eats just two meals plus a Boost or Ensure daily. She complains of being tired. She also has dementia. Is this age and dementia or should we be looking for another concern?
Itching in the head and on the eyelids can be due to multiple causes. It can be age related , due to any underlying disease like kidney or liver problem, due to anemia, use of any medication orally or topically ,thyroid disorder and allergy. I Recommend you to consult a doctor and undergo full evaluation for your mother.
