What should I do if I have itchy skin?
If you experience itchy skin, it is advisable to visit a hospital to determine the cause. Some cases of skin itchiness are caused by internal diseases such as thyroid disorders, renal insufficiency, diabetes, and cholestasis. Other cases may be due to conditions like eczema, urticaria, or papular urticaria. If the skin itchiness is not accompanied by other unusual symptoms, it may be considered pruritus. Treatment should be under the guidance of a doctor, using antiallergic medications such as loratadine tablets, chlorpheniramine maleate tablets, and mizolastine tablets. For conditions like eczema and papular urticaria, as well as drug-related dermatitis, topical antipruritic medications like mometasone furoate gel and Lushengshi wash can be applied. These should be used in conjunction with oral antiallergic drugs. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
