Case Study

He presented with symptoms such as intense itching on the legs and arms, near the elbow and popliteal fossa, nape of the neck, and abdomen near the waistline for 4 years.
Intense itching was noticed during the winter and rainy seasons. He used to turn better after the use of conventional medication Flutibact (anti-bacterial) ointment once a day during 1-2 months every year.
He also experienced a runny nose and sneezing after the morning shower even though the hot water was used once a year for 1-2 months. He would take Xyzal (anti-allergic syrup) once a day during that period and found relief.
