Suggest Treatment For Severe Itching On The Body While Having Psoriasis

My son is in prison, he has psoriasis, and Hep C~~he just recently has started itching extremely bad, not the psoriasis, he states that it is so bad that he scratches so much in his sleep there is blood on the sheets~~he says that it not only itches on the outside but feels like he is on fire on the inside as well. Could this possibly be from the Hep C since it is totally different than what he has experienced over the years with the psoriasis?

Hello,

As a first line management you can take drugs like cetirizine or pheniramine for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
