Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion you should take the cetrizine for itching.

Taking only cetrizine is not the only solution of this problem. It only gives symptomatic relief to you. Please take above medication under your doctors guidance.

I suggest you to show your leg to nearby doctor and get the exact cause of the symptoms done.

Please maintain the hygiene at the site of itching. In many cases only hygiene can improve the itching and nothing more is required.

Please hit diet rich in vitamin B12 and folic acid. As in some cases deficiency of this vitamins can cause problem. Taking vitamins can cure your problem.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
