What should I do about severe itching on my body?
You may take an over-the-counter antihistamine and apply a fragrance-free emollient or calamine lotion to relieve the itching. Avoid scratching and use mild, gentle soaps to protect your skin. If the itching is persistent, severe, or accompanied by a rash, swelling, or other unusual symptoms, please consult your doctor to rule out any underlying medical condition.
