I've been experiencing this itching problem all over my body for about 2 months now, affecting the main areas too. It's really starting to worry me. Do you have any advice on what could be causing this or how I can find some relief?

It's important to determine the underlying cause of your itching in order to provide an appropriate solution. However, based on the information provided, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to help relieve the itching. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help reduce the itching sensation. If the itching persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

how can i remove blade cut marks on my arms is plastic surgery the only option and what would be the approximate cost for it

Blade cut marks (self-inflicted or accidental) can often be improved with treatments like laser therapy, microneedling, or chemical peels, depending on the depth and age of the scars. Plastic surgery is an option for deep or wide scars. Costs vary but can range from ₹5,000–₹50,000 or more per session, depending on the treatment and clinic. A consultation with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon is recommended for a tailored plan.
