Arms and legs have recently begun itching. Washed all bedding and clothing, in case of pollen. Stopped a lotion that have used for two months because it contains honey, beeswax, and is the newest of my soaps and lotions. Have taken OTC Benadryl without much relief. In fact, I seem to be getting a rash where I have been itching. Because I have dry skin I am using aquaphore as a lotion, and it is soaking in immediately. What can I do to stop th rash and control the itching?
Hello, Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. After reading your query I can make out the possibility \"Simple Urticaria\". In this skin condition-there are red, itchy and temporary spots remaining for few hours and then disappears by itself without any spots. Specifically, sometimes the most prominent symptom is itching. It is so bothersome in the individual suffering from this problem that it hampers day to day activity. If the condition is more severe it can cause swelling on face including lips and eyes. There are innumerable causes of urticaria including the things related to our day-to-day life. These include food, environmental, physical and even most of the time we are not able to find a definite cause of the problem. The other possibility of itching due to Chat Doctor.  You can take loratadine tablet by mouth for 2-3 times a day under medical guidance. If you are not getting better than it is better to consult a dermatologist to give you best diagnosis and treatment. Hope to have provided the best information regarding your problem.
