Skin itching
My mother is suffering from skin itching problem specially during winter and that too night times it's increasing.This problem is there since 4 yrs.we visited many doctors they prescribe some moisturizer and some tabs ,till she is having tablets the itching is controlled but once the medicines are over the problem again repeats.once doc said to have a test done regarding the complete allergens(allergic profile)to know what is the specific allergic type because when the general tests were done they showed normal reports.she is a diabetic and blood pressure patient but both are in control.
