Scabies?
I've got patches of itchy skin on various parts of my body. On my legs I can see largish insect bites but on my wrists/arms and my breasts the bites are less visible. It's itchy really badly and I'm starting to cause red marks and little blodd blisters.
I thought it was the work of some biting insects I've seen flying around my room. However, as the weather gets colder then I'd expect them to die out for winter but this has lasted for a week or two now.
I live in Halls so it is quite possible for me to catch something contagious.
How do I treat whatever-it-is? Should I go and see a nurse/doctor?

You should probably go to the doctor. They can determine what exactly it is and recommend or prescribe something to treat it. Until you can get to the doctor, try some calamine lotion or benadryl cream to help deal with the itch. Sometimes washing with oatmeal soap will also help.

Hi there,
The symptomns you have could be anything!
I would definitely go to the doctor/nurse. Whatever it is you have, they have probably seen it before and there is nothing to be embarrassed about you'll be able to get it treated and put an end to the irritating itchyness that you are experiencing at the minute!
Take care!

A lot of things can cause the symptoms you describe. There are so many I wouldn't even want to venture a guess.
I would suggest a trip to the doctor. He/she will be able to give you something to help.
I doubt its anything serious, but itching is really annoying. Go see a doc. :)

It could be eczema. Here's a site I found on google:

If the symptoms match than I'd suggest seeing a doctor, they can give you lotions and the like to treat it.
Even if they dont match I'd still go to a doctor before it develops into anything more serious.

well if you have itchy skin everywhere...then that must means that you have very poor hygene.
and you should take showers everyday and cleanse yourself daily and it will go away.
or if your overweight that might cause the problem...maybe eat more healthy
um excuse me but that is very true...do some researh bitch!
