Itchy skin specially after bath
I have itchiness after bathing especially and i have been taking methylprednisolone 8mg and Levocetirizine(5mg) Montelukast(10mg)) for the past one year as long as i take the medicine the itching is fine but when i dont take it itching starts like when sweating or sometimes out of nowhere all over my body feels like itching under my skin and specially after taking bath itching is worst and when i scrub my body during bath the itching is unbearable thereafter. I want to keep taking the medicine but the side effect like weight gain and stretch marks have develop in my body. I did some digging online about the medication as for short term use only , so is there any other meds for long term use until the itching is gone or is there any meds to cure it
