Experiencing severe itching twice a week can be uncomfortable, but it is highly manageable. Potential causes include dry skin, mild allergic reactions to environmental triggers (like soaps, dust, or fabrics), temperature changes, or dietary factors. To help relieve the itching, you can try an over-the-counter generic non-drowsy antihistamine like cetirizine or loratadine. Regularly applying a fragrance-free moisturiser also helps soothe the skin. I recommend keeping a symptom diary to track when the itching occurs, as this can help identify specific triggers. Please consult a doctor or dermatologist for a proper physical evaluation to ensure a safe and accurate diagnosis.
