How to treat high eosinophil count with skin itching

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Skin itching caused by elevated eosinophil levels should be treated according to the specific underlying cause. The treatment methods are as follows: 1. Antihistamines: Suitable for mild to moderate skin itching due to allergic reactions. Commonly used medications include cetirizine hydrochloride and loratadine. These drugs effectively block histamine receptors and alleviate allergic symptoms. 2. Corticosteroids: For severe allergic reactions or other causes leading to intense skin itching, short-term use of corticosteroids such as hydrocortisone or dexamethasone may be prescribed under medical supervision to suppress the body's immune response and reduce inflammation. 3. Immunomodulators: When skin itching is associated with autoimmune disorders, immunomodulatory agents such as cyclosporine or methotrexate may be used to balance the body's immune status and reduce abnormal immune responses that damage the skin.
