What should I do if scratching itchy skin causes more bumps?
Skin itching and bumps can increase with scratching; treatment can include oral antihistamines, traditional Chinese medicine, and topical creams.
Skin itching and bumps are generally caused by allergies, which could be urticaria or eczema. Patients can take oral antihistamines such as mizolastine sustained-release tablets, loratadine tablets, chlorcyclizine tablets, etc., and combine them with traditional Chinese medicines such as Skin Disease Blood Poison tablets and Heat-Clearing Dampness-Removing granules.
While taking medication, topical corticosteroid creams such as Compound Dexamethasone Cream and Fusidic Acid Cream can be used. Patients with skin itching should avoid spicy, greasy foods, and fishy foods to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
