What Causes Severe Itching On The Skin Above My Forehead?
Dear Doctor, For the last one week I am suffering from severe itching on the skin above my forehead. In the evenings after 7 pm it is severe and I find it intolerable. Kindly help me out of this problem: I am 78 yrs old, good health. Living in IYI Colony, Kadamkode, Palakkad.

Hi,
First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, you need to get it reviewed for any signs of allergic pruritis or scalp psoriasis, etc.
Meanwhile, using antihistamines like Cetrizine or Loratadine may be helpful. Calamine lotion can be used for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
