What other remedies or treatments can I use for my sensitive, itchy skin that turns red when scratched, since Allegra 180 did not relieve the itching and it returned after I stopped taking it?
The redness after scratching sounds like a common, treatable condition called dermographism. Since fexofenadine (Allegra) didn't provide relief, you might find comfort by applying cool compresses or moisturizers containing colloidal oatmeal. For daily care, use mild, fragrance-free cleansers and avoid hot showers. Since the itching returned, I gently recommend discussing other daily generic antihistamines, like cetirizine or levocetirizine, with your doctor to find the right fit for your sensitive skin. A dermatologist can help tailor a plan just for you.
