Local skin specialist treated this as skin allergy and I have taken following medicines during this period - 1st month :momate l, elovera imf lotion, tab xyal 10 days, then?after 15 days :zydip lotion & venusia mixed, and halovate f cream. There after treatment followed with: diprovate g & alograce cream mixed, hicope 25 2, times, lecope m twice. This is being continued now. Itching still there all over the body though less than previous. But the effects of the cream +lotion gives relief for 2- 3 hrs only. Then itching starts again. Can you please help me with your suggestions?

Scabies is one of the most common cause of itching all over the body. It usually present with burrows (type of rash) on your body. If no rashes or no other particular lesion on body then considering your age we can take Senile Pruritis as one of the common cause for your resistant itching.
