I have bad itching with prickly pain on my ahoulders, possibly hives. Bumps are fluid filled and I scratch until I scab and scar. This has brought me to tears with sleepless nights and now benadryl is no longer helping. Could this be a food allergy and until I can eliminate a possible culprit, what can I do to abate the chronic itching? I can no longer stand a bra strap or purse on my shoulders or the pain and itching will begin. I dread the night as it gets worse.
Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. Yes. There is possibility that the symptoms are due to allergy. If I were your treating doctor then I would have advised cetirizine one at night for 5 days & Naproxen thrice a day for 2 days. Report to hospital if:> Condition remain same after 2-3 days> Any unusual symptom appears> Condition deteriorates.> There is difficulty in breathing. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.
