Suggest Treatment For Whole Body Itching

I have almost constant, and daily, itching from head to toe. It moves from the top of my head, (bald) to my ankles and all over including across my lower back, ankles fingers, wrists and inside my ears.. Ido not have any diabetes issues that I know of. I do have facial rosacea around my forehead and take Doxycyclene 100mg. This is driving me crazy..any help would be appreciated..John

Hello,

By your history and description, possibility of allergic reaction is more likely.

So better to consult a dermatologist and get done a clinical examination. You will need oral combination of antihistamine (Levocetirizine or fexofenadine) and anti-allergic (montelukast).

Steroid cream (mometasone) is also helpful. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.

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

Take care
