Doctors’ responses
1. Itching with red bumps all over the body can be due to allergy infection scabies or eczema so identifying the cause is important.
2. Avoid scratching as it will worsen the rash and increase the chance of infection.
3. Use mild soap and lukewarm water for bathing and apply a fragrance free moisturizer to soothe the skin.
4. For quick relief an antihistamine tablet at night can reduce itching but it should be taken only after a doctors advice.
5. If scabies or fungal infection is suspected specific creams or medicines will be required which only a dermatologist can prescribe.
6. Since your palms are severely affected please visit a dermatologist soon for proper examination and treatment.
