Itchy skin constantly!

sweetlee · 05-22-2009, 04:21 AM

I have no idea what on earth to do! About a year and a half ago my skin just started itching, it would for instance start on my legs, and if i start scratching, later on my whole body would itch, I would drink 1 allergex and it would go away for a week, and it would start all over again. Nothing in my lifestyle changed at that stage, and since then i've made hundreds of changes, new soap, new cream, new washing powder, new clothes, new everything! it does not go away!! Now i'm pregnant, and don't know if i can still use allergex, so im just itching away the whole time...

Any advice?

Firstly, CONGRATULATIONS that's fantastic.

Well, secondly, you are oliminating that's good what is the contents of what you are oliminating? Do you know what's in that soap etc?

Thirdly, a Dermatoligist may be in order.

I have been experincing the same symptoms lately and it is driving me crazy! I would suggest that you see a Dr. It may be bugs under the skin or scabies. I am going to the emergency room tonight and try and get some help!

I've been having the same problem for a longtime too. I try taking anti-histamines but all they do is knock me out and once I'm awake I'm itchy all over again

I have the same problem! It started about 5 months ago when I was visiting my very dry home in Northern AZ. I thought it was just climate change and dry skin. But I came back to FL with serious humidity and my legs and arms still itch a lot. I've gotten a lot better at ignoring the itch so it's not AS bad but it still itches very often! Particularly on my upper legs and upper arms. And often on my hips as well. It's so frustrating. I keep trying to lather my skin in lotion cause it relieves it a little bit. I recently purchased Noxzema and it helps about as much as lotion. Is there any way to make it go away for good though? It makes me so irritable to the point where I don't like my boyfriend touching me cause he's too warm and it causes me to itch more.

Please help?

It could be an overgrowth of yeast in your body if there is no rash. yeast isnt just in your vagina its throughout your whole body. if there is a rash it could be eczema
