What are the recommended diagnostic steps and treatment strategies for managing severe, generalized pruritus and blistering that worsens at night and persists despite taking oral fexofenadine (Allegra) 150 mg and treating household dogs for a suspected zoonotic infection?

Since fexofenadine (Allegra) hasn't provided relief, these symptoms?particularly worsening at night with blistering?highly suggest a skin condition like scabies, which can sometimes be linked to pet exposure. I recommend seeing a doctor or dermatologist for a physical exam and a quick skin scraping to confirm. If confirmed, the standard treatment involves prescription topical permethrin cream or oral medication, as antihistamines won't cure the underlying cause. It is also important that all household members are treated simultaneously, and bedding is washed in hot water.
