Itching all over the body
I have itching problem since 3 years. But the only issue i was not taking it seriously is it is not constant for example if it gets started i suffer for around 3-4-5 months and then after that i feel nothing for may be 8-10 months. This is the third time i am facing severe itching issue all over my body. I had showed it to my family doctor he said may be i have irritation with some food item, cloth etc but i don't think so. He also told me it can also be because of worms in the body i took medicine for worms even but not an issue with that too. I have been using a tablet named XYZAL since then when i take this tab i am free for 2 days and again after that i am again in the need of taking it as the dose lasts only for 2 days. This time i am very much worried about it. Kindly help.

You are probably suffering from what Dermatologist call urticaria. Common causes are food allergy infection or drugs. Although, in most cases cause remains unknown in spite of a thorough search. It can be symptomatically treated so that you do not get any new hives and the treatment should be prolonged until it resolves which usually takes 3 to 6 months. In very few cases it becomes recurrent or stays for prolonged time. You can continue xyzal, although newer tablets are also there. You can consult me for prescription.
