Accepted Answer

Mgt: I would suggest an oatmeal bath ( available at your drugstore) and trying an antihistamine. If it persists or is associated with any other symptoms, please see your PCP.

Question 3

i've recently begun to have intense itching of my scalp at night. what causes it  & what is recommended treatment? )i have dry mouth--any connection?

Accepted Answer

More info needed: Most identifiable causes of itchy scalp are associated with rash, scale, or other visible skin abnormalities. A thorough description or a good look at the scalp would be helpful. Any new hair/scalp products being used? Hard to think of a connection with dry mouth, unless you're using an antihistamine for the itch.

Question 4

Question 5

i had scabbies and used medication and i don't have it anymore but it's still itching at night what can i do to stop itching?

Accepted Answer

Scabies: It is expected to continue itching after treatment until the body of the scabies bug is completely dissolved &amp; absorbed from the skin, you can try OTC  hydrocortisone cream &amp; benadryl (diphenhydramine) or zyrtic to alleviate the itching.  Good luck.

Question 6

Itch: Removal of the inciting agent, hypoallergenic lotions, soaps and detergents, topical Hydrocortisone and/or Benadryl (diphenhydramine) creams, and possibly oral non-sedating antihistamines.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you are itching and have a rash there might be a physical cause that can explain this symptom. However if you are itching only at night and there aren't any spots before you itch, anxiety, stress, temperature changes can make you itchy. Good luck.

Question 8

i have a serious problem at night, my body is getting some pimples and they are itching at night and am afraid to get some test done...and sleep less?

Accepted Answer

Pimples don't itch: Pimples don't itch, so it must be something else.  Where are the "pimples"?  I recommend you see your doctor or a dermatologist.

Question 9
