I am having an itching problem on the entire body with no rashes or red marks. The itching feels internal and when I take a Citrizen tablet it subsides temporarily but reappears, about twice a week. I have been suffering from this problem for the past 6 to 7 months and consulted a dermatologist who suggested medicines like Allegra 120 and some multivitamin syrup after conducting blood and urine tests. He told me there is no problem in the blood and urine reports.

Chronic itching without rash may be due to allergy or dry skin. Continue antihistamines, moisturize well, and consider allergy panel if persistent.

Take a IgE Test Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test
