Hi doctor, Ive been dealing with itching all over my body for about a month now. Its really uncomfortable, and Ive tried using Dettol and Itch Guard, but the itching still hasnt gone away. What could be causing this, and what should I do to get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Itching for a month could be due to allergies, dry skin, infections, or other underlying issues. Avoid scratching, keep your skin moisturized, and wear loose, breathable clothes.
