I have severe itching below knees, inner forearm during at least two times during the day. Sometimes during nights. Unless I scratch the area for a few minutes to get some relief. Sometimes a cold water wash too gives some relief. I am on homeopathic medicine. I am also diabetic with Hb1Ac 7.5. fasting 106 and pp. 160. weight 71 kg and height 5.10. Kindly guide. I am basically a resident of Surat. Currently in Hyderabad

Ans: Your fasting blood sugar levels are fine; however, post meal sugar levels are relatively high. My suggestion is that you switch to modern medicine and start treatment of diabetes.
The itching could also be a side effect of some of the medicines you might be consuming. I advise that you please get done liver function tests done. Till then, any antiallergic lotion and tablets could be continued.
If your liver markers are normal and any possible liver irritant is avoided, course of Monteklukast for a month can be considered.

Career

I hold master's degree in computer application. But quit my job 15 years back having 4 years of IT experience. Teach my kid at home class 11. Can I do anything now to earn money. My age is 45,an indian female

Ans: Instead of just building your identity around kids and family, doing independent work will definitely help. Do a quick course on QA, Project Management or Business Analysis. And I'd strongly suggest returning to work. That will increase your exposure, build some wealth for yourself and family will respect you more. You can start with finding the right opportunties, prep your resume and start applying for the jobs.
