Q. I have whole body itching. Is it anything serious? Please help.
Hello doctor,
- I am a 27 year old male. I have an irregular sleeping pattern due to software job. I do not drink or smoke. Also my job is a very stressful job.
- I had whole body itching very rarely in the past 3 years, like once I take bath or suddenly during sleep. This never disturbed my lifestyle though.
- At present, I have frequent bouts of whole body itching (at different places in the body and not always in the same body part) in the past one month.
- It started suddenly one month back and persisted for 3 days.
- And then it was very less frequent.
- Now the itching has again started in the last 3 days.
- Meanwhile, there are no lesions or any other skin changes in the body. Only itching is present.
Is it anything serious? Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You are suffering from either scabies or urticaria.
Since no other skin lesion is present this is going more in favour of scabies.
- Does any of your other colleagues suffering from itching?
- Does itching occur predominantly at night?
Take the following medications for 15 days and review your condition after that.
1) Calosoft lotion - to be applied on the body twice daily.
2) Tablet Teczine 5mg - to be taken twice daily.
3) HH Mite soap - for bathing.
4) Pernil 5% lotion - apply the full bottle (50mL) once the whole body after scrubbing, in the evening, just like you do an oil massage.

Hi doctor,
- I am not sure if it is scabies because it is not that bad.
- And also there is a burning sensation around my mouth.
- I work from home most of the time and none of my colleagues have this problem.
- And yes, itching was predominantly at night.
Could it be some food allergy?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- It is not necessary to have extreme itching.
- Chances of food allergy is there if it occurs specifically after taking food.
- Just take the mentioned medicine, as chances are there that it might be papular urticaria.
