What should I do about severe itching on my body?

Asked by Female, 23 · 26 days ago

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.

Severe itching on your body can be very uncomfortable and may be due to allergies, skin conditions, or other causes. An antihistamine like cetirizine (found in Cetzine 10 mg tablets) is often used to relieve itching caused by allergic reactions.

  • You can consider taking an antihistamine such as cetirizine, but only under a doctor's prescription and guidance.
  • Avoid scratching the affected areas to prevent skin damage or infection.
  • Keep your skin moisturized with gentle, fragrance-free lotions.
  • Identify and avoid possible triggers like certain soaps, detergents, or foods.
  • If itching is accompanied by swelling, difficulty breathing, or spreading rash, seek immediate medical attention.

Since severe itching can have various causes, it is important to consult a dermatologist or an allergist to determine the exact reason and get appropriate treatment. If symptoms worsen or do not improve with initial measures, please see a specialist promptly.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
