What is the cause of itching that resolves for a few days with medication and comes back?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. You did not mention that if there are any skin lesions anywhere on the body. The investigation attached (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity) does not show any significant abnormalities. Anyone else in your family has a similar complaint? Are there any skin lesions when itching, or are they always absent? Any relation to weather change, sun exposure, or any other precipitating factor? Please let me know in the free follow-up. It will help in understanding your situation better. Take care.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thanks for answering the queries. There are few possibilities. Sometimes pruritus can be of unknown origin when the specific cause cannot be ascertained. Urticaria is another possibility but usually presents with weals. The control for few days when you take the tablet indicates this possibility. Xerosis is a condition when there is generalized skin dryness. Take the following medicines for three weeks and revert after that. Take Tablet Dazit-M 10 (Desloratadine and Montelukast) once at night. Use Cetaphil moisturizing lotion twice a day. Take Tablet Ivermectin 12 mg once a week for two weeks. Take care.
