Q: I am 80 years old diabetic man having excessive gastric problem and heart disease. I had a kidney failure too. I am taking Creaser-40 and calisizest. Nowadays I feel itching all over the body especially near the stomach. What could be the reason? How can it be treated? Please advise.

A:Itching over the abdomen can be due to dryness, reaction to one of the medicines you are taking (even though you may have been taking them for a long time without any problem) for other disorders, eczema, fungal infection etc. Apply coconut oil twice a day for few days. If it does not help, then consult your doctor.
