  5. Ive been dealing with itching all over my body, and I was told that my IGE level is high (it was 300 when checked two years ago). A skin specialist recommended antibiotics like Best 20 or Ebaste 20, but after taking them, the itching only improves for about 3 days before it comes back. Is it okay to keep taking these medicines regularly, or should I be looking for a different solution?
