Suggest treatment for allergic itching on body
Patient: I have previously had surgery a week ago for a cyst on my right ovary. I forgot to tell the doctor that I am allerrgic to dermabond. I have been having severe itching every since. I have tried Benadryl cream and hydrocortisone cream which made the itching worse. I have tried oral Benadryl which made my sinus flare up and had me congested afterwards. I have tried Vistaril which made me sick with nausea and vomiting. I have also had a steroid shot which helped for a couple of hours but the itching has came back. I am currently taking a Medrol dose pack and Zyrtec and I am still itching. I have made an appointment with an allergy doctor but could not be seen until the 19th. What can I do to stop itching, I have scratched so much that I am bleeding and the medications are not helping.. please help!!! Doctor: It is difficult to say about the cause for itching without seeing you.But looking to your complaint if you are permitting me as your doctor, i advise you to take levocetrizine +montelucast once a day. Apply clotrimezole powder twice a day might help you.
