I am a 66 year old female suffering from a chronic itching with a rash. I have had this condition for approx. 8 weeks. I have tried many OTC remedies including calamine lotion, allegra, etc. I have also tried a 10 day dosage of Predasone 5mg without any relief. I have changed my laundry detergent and also discontinued certain prescription drugs temporarily. Nothing helps.
Hi, It may be lichen simplex chronic us most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. If it is same as I said, I would recommend you to apply steroid cream like Clobetasol Propionate cream. And you should take steroid tablet in a tapering dose. If needed, an intradermal steroid injection may be taken. Take antihistamines like Loratadine.  Avoid soap bath. Avoid dietary stuff like cows milk, fish, prawns, chicken, eggs, fermented food, nuts, soy products etc. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care.
