Itching and red bumps on the skin require treatment tailored to the underlying cause. For instance, if the symptoms are due to urticaria (hives), specific treatment is typically unnecessary, as they usually resolve spontaneously within 24 hours and often leave no residual symptoms. In contrast, if the condition results from diseases such as eczema or contact dermatitis, antihistamines may be used for treatment; commonly prescribed medications include cetirizine hydrochloride granules and loratadine tablets.
