Hi doctor,
Whenever I drink alcohol, I am getting itchy in my scalp, face and behind the ears. What could the reason? Please explain.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Itching and flushing may occur with alcohol consumption as an allergic reaction or if there is any deficiency of the enzyme, which destroys alcohol metabolite (Acetaldehyde).
- Liver diseases may also lead to these symptoms if you are an alcohol consumer for a long time.
- Get the biochemical tests done, especially liver tests, to see if any liver problem exists.
- I suggest tablet Cetirizine 10 mg at evening to control itching. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent.
- Quit alcohol if it makes you feel uncomfortable.
