What can I do about itchiness 4 weeks after my Halo treatment?

Question

I’m itchy so bad at night.

Carmen A. Traywick, MD, FAAD · Answer

Itching may be experienced during the healing phase and is completely normal. Oral Benadryl may help itching but can cause drowsiness. DO NOT scratch the treated area as scarring and pigmentation complications can occur. Hope this helps.

Jake Wardwell, DO · Answer

The itchiness this far out from the procedure may simply be from dryness. Using a good moisturizer like the Elta MD barrier renewal 2-3 times per day can help. Increase your intake of water as well. You can also take Allegra during the day and Benadryl at night, which helps to reduce histamine.
