W.D. M. needs help with itching. No one mentioned
allergies!!!! Inhalant and food allergies are always
to be considered with itching. Suggest she/he watch
inhalant counts on t-v, high mold, etc., and also
if she/or he can observe their intake of foods to
see if the itching is worse after eating certain foods.
Living in what i think to be the dust bowl of Tx perhaps
they need to try an antihistamine which may help.
I live in Central Tx. and allergies are unfortunately
alive and well here for many of us. Best Dr. is in
Fredericksburg, Tx.
