What Does Itching All Over The Body Indicate?
My son complaints that he has daily episodes of itching all over and goes from high intensity to low intensity and subsides in 10-15 min. he says he wants to go crazy scratching but he does not do that. There are no visible signs of dermatitis. What could this be.

Hello,my name is dr.Dorina Gurabardhi.I understand your concern.
It can be an alergic reaction.These substances, or allergens, can be anything from food, medication, or environments.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Take antihistamines to relieve the reaction
-Add anti-itch cream. Over-the-counter hydrocortisone or calamine lotion may relieve itching.
-oral corticosteroids may be needed.
If it does not relive go to the emergency.
Hope my answer was helpful.If you have any other question Ill be glad to help.
Regards,
dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
