Hi,
You suffer from generalised pruritus of unknown origin. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. After thorough examination and investigations proper diagnosis may be done. Some internal cause may be elicited.
I would suggest...
- to find out cause and to treat it
- apply mild steroid cream with moisturiser
- tab levocetirizine 5 mg twice daily
- avoid soap bath
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.
