How can skin rashes with itching caused by bites be treated?
Patient: Hi, I have been getting rashes on my skin for past 3 weeks. I visited a physician and she recommended Vozet 5mg (glaxo) for four days. Once I started that tablet, the itching disappeared. But started again after 2 days. I took one more course for 4 days the result is the same. I have never had any allergy in my life (43 years male). The itching started while returning from a foresty region. I remember I had few bites of mosquito likes - -. What should I do? Doctor: Hello.Thank you for asking at HCM.I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions to you:1. I usually suggest my such patients regular montelukast-levocetirizine for at least 2 weeks.2. I also suggest them to apply a lotion like calamine/moisturizer over itchy areas immediately after bath.3. As your problems starter after a trip, I would suggest you to take a course of antiparasite drugs. (parasitic infections can commonly cause such hives).Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.Wish you the best of the health and a very good recovery.Thank you & Regards.
