A member asked:
I have pruritis what the best medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several causes: Pruritis is another term for itching, typically itching all over your body. This can be an allergy to a medication, food, plant exposure, or environmental allergies. IT can also come from dry skin or a skin irritant such as a soap. You can try an antihistamine such as diphenhydramine, good skin moisturization, a menthol lotion such as Sarna, and cool compresses. I suggest a visit to your doctor.
