Ive been experiencing itching all over my body after drinking alcohol. Last week, I had beer, and two days later, the itching started. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?

This itching may be due to alcohol-induced urticaria, which is a type of skin reaction that can occur after consuming alcohol. I recommend taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help relieve the itching. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas. If the itching persists or worsens, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
