Skin Allergy - Itching
I've stayed in hostel for 1 and a half month and started experiencing itching after 2 weeks of my stay. I've been experiencing itching entirely on my body. I've been prescribed monthly courses of tablets since April. But there is no improvement. I'm no more comfortable in taking tablet courses for months. Could you please prescribe the medicines that I won't have to use for months and also help me improve fast?

U could b suffering from scabies. Scabies is contagious and can spread quickly through close physical contact in a family or thru ur hostel stay. Scabies signs and symptoms include Itching, often severe and usually worse at night. There could thin, irregular burrow tracks made up of tiny blisters or bumps on your skin. Consult a Dermatologist for the same to prevent further progression of lesions.
