Sounds like Eczema of the skin.
Moisturiser like E45 normally helps. Use Cetrizine to help with itching.
Hydration is very very important.
If not settling then use Betnovate 0.1% cream daily for 5 days only. (Don’t use Betnovate mixed with antibiotics).
All the best.

An itchy skin for 10 days with body fatigue and a “hot” feeling, along with a WBC count of 11,500, most commonly suggests an ongoing inflammatory or allergic process in the body. This level is a mild leukocytosis, not dangerously high. The common causes in this context include:
• Allergic reaction (food, medicine, detergent, dust, mites)
• Skin infection or parasitic infestation (including scabies)
• Viral or mild bacterial infection
• Liver-related causes (itching without rash can occur with liver enzyme changes)
• Stress-related immune activation, especially if sleep is poor
By itself, a WBC of 11,500 is not alarming, but combined with itching and fatigue, it does need clinical correlation.
Next Steps
1. Review the CBC differential (neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils) — very important
• High eosinophils → allergy / parasitic cause
• High neutrophils → bacterial infection or inflammation
2. If itching is significant or generalized, get:
• Liver function tests (LFTs)
• ESR / CRP
3. Avoid self-medicating with antibiotics or steroids without guidance
4. If itching persists beyond 2 weeks, a dermatology or physician consultation is advised
Health Tips
• Avoid hot showers; use lukewarm water only
• Use mild, fragrance-free soap and moisturize twice daily
• Stay well hydrated
• Avoid alcohol, outside food, and unnecessary medicines for now
• An antihistamine may help, but choice depends on your full history
