Question 5

i'm scared because whenever i go outside my body itches will i die and can you tell me how i will be able to cure it before it gets worse thank you wh?

Accepted Answer

Allergist: Going outdoors with the resultant temperature change and/ or certain activities may release histamine or other substances that causes the itching reaction. Apparently you don't break out in a rash such as hives or angioedema. Taking a nonsedating antihistamine like claritin (loratadine) before you go out may prevent this reaction. An allergist is best qualified to evaluate and advise you.

Question 6

why do my body/ skin swell any time i scratch it after it itches me?

and please is there any home remedy cure?

Accepted Answer

Dermatographism: This dermatographism, or skin writing, is akin to having hives and the cause is usually elusive. It may resolve on its own. In the meantime think of anything you recently ate or took that could have triggered this skin reactivity. For relief take an antihistamine like benadryl(causes drowsiness) or claritin(nondrowsy). In my experience, hydroxyzine is most effective(causes drowsiness,need script)

Question 7

how to cure eye itches? can i use eye drops daily?

Accepted Answer

Allergies : Itching of the eyeballs often seasonal can be helped by the use of antihistamine eye drops that may be purchased over the counter. Examples are Zaditor ™ and Alaway™.  These may be used twice daily. For more serious allergic conditions, an examination to review the eyes will be Necessary. Additionally, if you're aware of what triggers the allergic symptoms, avoidance is best. Good luck.

Question 8

i got allergy due to hot summers due to which my skin itches a lot and got small red rashes. what should i do to cure it?

Accepted Answer

Multiple: How long does the rash last after you got out of the sun?   Do you have the same issues after exercise? The problem can be due to what is called cholinergic urticaria which usually occurs during the cooling off period after an increase in core body temperature (hot shower, sun, exercise, stress etc). If this is what you are experiencing, then taking an antihistamine prior to the exposure may work.
