thanks for the advice
i think ur right it probably is an internal disease
because ive tried every possible medication n cream
n nothing has solved it
but i just tried the oatmeal bath and a cooling anti itch cream
n it seems to be relieving it a little!
thanks again i really appreciate it!
Hello,
Skin conditions like psoriasis,dermatitis and hives, internal diseases like liver and kidney disorders,diabetes, iron deficiency anemia, irritation and allergic reactions to chemicals,wool,soaps,cosmetics and certain foods can cause itchy skin.
You can apply an anti-itch cream or lotion to the affected area. Oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl or Claritin can also be used. You should take a comfortably cool bath and wear smooth-textured cotton clothing.You should choose mild soaps without dyes or perfumes and use a mild, unscented laundry detergent when washing clothes, towels and bedding.Also apply calamine lotion and a mild steroid cream on the itchy areas.
Pls take a second opinion from a dermatologist if the symptoms persist. He/She will start with the specific medications. If an internal disease is found, whether it's kidney disease, iron deficiency or a thyroid problem, treating that disease often relieves the itch.Lastly,Phototherapy can also be tried.
I hope that helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
