Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Severe Itching On Arms, Legs And Torso?
I ve been taking atorvastin for several years. For the last 2weeks my skin itches but there are no hives and no rash. I haven t changed detergents or soaps, and I haven t eaten any different foods. I don t use perfumes or different topical lotions. It s usually my arms, torso or upper legs that itch. I take Lisinopril and because I have arthritis in my hands, I take Ibuprofen almost daily. Should I be concerned?
It is mostly suggestive of some fungal infection for which you can take some antibiotic like cefadroxyl or moxikind-cv after an expert opinion along with avil or cetrizine for itching. You can use valnerate-c or clobit-gm cream for local application. Give some multivitamin and maintain the hygiene of the body.
