    What can one do to stop itching all over the body without a rash?

    Dr. Mayank Saxena

    Doctor of Medicine (MBBS) · 1 years of exp

    Here are some things you can do to stop itching all over your body without a rash: 1. Take an over-the-counter antihistamine: Antihistamines work by blocking the effects of histamine, a chemical that your body releases in response to an allergic reaction. They can help to reduce itching and inflammation. 2. Apply a cold compress: A cold compress can help to reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a cold compress to the affected area for 15-20 minutes at a time. 3. Take a warm bath or shower: A warm bath or shower can help to relax your skin and reduce itching. Add a few drops of lavender oil to the bath water for an added calming effect. 4. Use a humidifier: A humidifier can help to add moisture to the air, which can help to relieve dry skin and itching. 5. Avoid scratching: Scratching will only make the itching worse. If you can't resist the urge to scratch, try scratching with a soft cloth or your fingernails instead. 6. Wear loose-fitting clothing: Tight-fitting clothing can irritate the skin and make itching worse. Wear loose-fitting clothing made from natural fibers, such as cotton or linen. 7. Moisturize your skin: Keeping your skin moisturized can help to prevent dryness and itching. Use a moisturizer that is fragrance-free and hypoallergenic. If the itching is severe or does not go away after trying these home remedies, you should see a doctor. They can help to diagnose the cause of the itching and recommend treatment options.
