I am 68 years old and have Agent Orange related type 2 diabetes (since 2000). In 2005 I had a related stroke (Rt. medulla CVA). I take insulin injections. Recently I developed a rash with itching on my right lower leg. I am trying to figure out if this is food related and what I can use to stop the itching (cortisone does not work). Thank you, Dennis Maddox
Cellophane you for writing to us on Chat Doctor. Based on your history the response to your question is as follows.1. For itching, antihistamine like loratadine or cetirizine will be helpful.2. Also apply calamine lotion over it.3. Right lower leg, only, look at local cause. Possibly socks or footwear or environmental. Not food related. Hope this is helpful to you. Do write back to me for further questions. Thank you
