Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction due to the use of Tretiva.

I suggest using antihistamines to relieve the itching.

If the symptoms continue I suggest consulting with your doctor about an alternative medication.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
