A member asked:
My entire body is itchy from the inside out, some hive flare-ups in not usual places, prednasone and benedryl after 4 days not helping?

Anithistamines: Try a longer acting antihistamine like zyrtec or allegra twice a day (Benadryl only lasts a few hours). You can also try anti itch remedies like like over the counter hydrocortisone creams, oatmeal baths, etc.
