Redness, swelling, and itchy bumps
Hello Doctors,
My father has redness, swelling, and itchy bumps on his arms and back. As a precaution, we gave him cetrizine twice as the itching has become unbearable.
However, hiis condotion hasn't improved. Since he has a history of CVA and is on medication, so we're looking for the right advice.
Regards,
Surojit
