Generalised body itching can be coz of scabies or also coz of allergy. Depending on the cause of your itchiness, your skin may appear normal, red, rough or bumpy. Repeated scratching can cause raised thick areas of skin that might bleed or become infected. relief with self-care measures such as moisturizing daily, using gentle cleansers and bathing with lukewarm water. Long-term relief requires identifying and treating the cause of itchy skin. Common treatments are medicated creams, moist dressings and oral anti-itch medicines. Cetrizine will give u temporary relief but u will have to consult a Dermatologist to c whats the exact cause of the itching.
