Common Questions and Answers about Antihistamine for itching skin

antihistamine

Avatar n tn My daughter is suffering from eczema from the time she was 2 months old. Her Ped prescribed antihistamine for itching. We are concerned about the side effects. She does not have any immune system related issues. Her itching increases during the night time and it has been severe since the past 2-3 weeks. Only now we started giving her antihistamine and are concerned about the side effects. Is there any other way to stop her itching.
Avatar n tn I moved from a very humid climate to a dry, colder climate/higher altitude this winter. Since moving here, we both have developed rashes throughout our body. Dry skin, kind of scaly but not quite, just noticible, red patches some no bigger than a dime some larger. They itch too. I have to assume that this is due to the climate change, but wonder what would be good treatment. I have tried a combination of a good moisturizer mixed with hydrocortisone cream with no luck.

Avatar n tn Hello, Itchy skin that isn't accompanied by other obvious skin changes, such as a rash, is most often caused by dry skin (xerosis). Dry skin usually results from environmental factors that you can wholly or partially control. These include hot or cold weather with low humidity levels, long-term use of air conditioning or central heating, and washing or bathing too much. Other conditions cause itchy skin as well.
Avatar f tn The itching never goes away unless I take an antihistamine. I am really sensitive to medications in general; having to take something every day really wipes me out. With 4 kids this is hard. I have always gone the natural route with everything, so this kind of scares me. What will long term, daily use of this med do to my body and will I gradually need more as time goes on. Is there another way?
Avatar f tn Hi, my dermatologist has prescribed me a antihistamine for my itching and wants me to use it for 4-6 weeks. The med is called hydroxzine. I am concerned because i never heard of anyone using antihistamine for that long. Will this severly affect my liver? Please help!

368396 tn?1391945302 I bought some lemons at a roadside mkt I used them in my ice tea I sliced one & added to my drink & within a few minutes I noticed my arm started itching & scratching caused it to turn red I didn't think to much of it until I turned red all over I looked like I had been sunburned & the itching was bad...The redness is fading now to pink but the itching is still bad...
Avatar n tn And so it has for me. It makes sense. Bacteria breeds in patches on warm damp skin, and makes it itch. Scratching carries the infection - as do tights, socks, the contents of jars of unguents kept in warm bathrooms. Maintain scrupulous hygeine - boil your tights or replace! - and both the rash and the itch disappears. . Steroid creams have not touched the problem, or antibiotics - just old fashioned disinfectant did it in a week. One thousand sleepless nights are in the past.

It also happens when I get emotionally stressed, suprised, or angry. I can't get emotional without the itching affecting me.
Avatar n tn People who are sensitive or allergic to certain metals may react to pigments in the skin with swelling and/or itching, and/or oozing of clear fluid called serum. Such reactions are quite rare, however, and some artists will recommend performing a test patch. For those who are allergic to latex, many artists are using non-latex or will use non-latex gloves if asked.
Avatar m tn The skin bumps are likely a secondary skin infection which is common with feline itching. Chlorpheniramine maleate 4mg tablets are a mild inexpensive antihistamine effective to help reduce cat itching and allergies. If there are no parasites such as fleas, there are many other allergens to which your cat is allergic causing the itching. An organic oatmeal bath is helpful to sooth irritated skin. Your vet can also determined the exact allergen.
Avatar f tn little bumps like pimples then they scratch off and become very irritable. Sarna, Goldbond-green for itching, now on Cortizone-10 daily or 2 x daily. Benedryl at night to sleep, but what about accupuncture will it give me some relief? I don't like the oatmeal baths either, I am using sensitive skin soap, and the shower wash of oatmeal type.

Avatar f tn Hi, It may be possible that you were exposed to the poisonous sap of some plants such as poison ivy, oak or sumac. The usual symptom of poisoning is a severe itching of the skin. Later, a red inflammation and a blistering of the skin occurs. In severe cases, oozing sores develop. The rash spreads by the poisonous sap or urushiol, not as the result of contamination from sores.
