What should I do if my whole body is still itching after taking Avil and applying calamine, and only a hot bath seems to help?

Asked by Female, 33 · 7 days ago

While a hot bath feels temporarily soothing, hot water actually dries out your skin and can worsen itching. Please switch to lukewarm baths and apply a thick, fragrance-free moisturizer immediately afterward. Since pheniramine (Avil) and calamine are not providing relief, please consult a doctor to identify the underlying cause. You may need a different class of antihistamine or a prescription topical treatment. Avoid scratching to prevent infection, and seek immediate medical attention if you experience any swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing.
