Itchy body that leads to scratch wounds
Ive been experiencing this itchy feeling for about a week after quitting smoking is this still normal? After i scratch the parts where it feels itchy i would get rashes and sometimes it would bleed cause of too much scratching. I would like to ask for advise on how can i lessen the itchyness feeling. Hoping for a good answer thank you in advance.
You are probably suffering from what Dermatologist call urticaria. Common causes are food allergy, infection or drugs taken for some condition. It presents with itching resulting in formation of red rashes which we call hives or wheals. Although in most cases cause remains unknown in spite of a thorough search. It can be symptomatically treated with medicines so that you do not get any new hives. The treatment should be prolonged until it resolves which usually takes 1 to 6 months. Please call me or contact me through online consult option for further details and treatment.
