Hi doctor,
My grandfather aged 85 years is having a lot of itching on his body. The main areas are his arms and back. There is a lot of inflammation at times and all of a sudden the inflammation increases and then goes down. It appears in cycle. He has been prescribed with the following medicines namely tablet Teczin 5 mg and Momate cream. He used these medicines for 3 weeks. It was good while he was using them but then again itching started slowly once he stopped using them. Please advice some other medicine as there is dryness in mouth when he uses these medicines. Thank You.

Hello doctor.
Thank you for the information and swift reply. These patterns existed before the use of Momate. The previous doctor diagnosed this as senile xerosis with eczema and had prescribed my grandfather Teczine and Momate. But, since it is a steroid we want to avoid it. Also, there are no lesions elsewhere in the body except in some areas of back and hands. Thank you for your time and response.
