I'm so itchy, and I mean it's all over! On my arms and my legs and my back. And there isn't a rash or anything as a result! I took a shower because I thought maybe that would wash whatever was hurting me away.. but that didn't work either! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME!?!
ncblondie answered Saturday December 3 2005, 12:06 pm: Are you under a lot of stress? Sometimes when were under a lot of stress, our bodies react in weird ways, including itching. Is your skin dry? Dry skin can be very itchy. Have you tried putting on some moisturizing lotion?
Try putting on some antihistamine cream. Benadryl cream works well. Another option is to get some oatmeal soap and wash with it.
hco_babe answered Saturday December 3 2005, 11:24 am: it's possible it's just dry skin from cold weather. use a really good lotion all over your body, wait about 20 minutes, and see if its still there. it could be hives. just take some bennadryl. (bennadryl will stop the itching. and help it go away.) [ hco_babe's advice column | Ask hco_babe A Question ]
karenR answered Saturday December 3 2005, 7:24 am: There is a thing called winter itch. That may be your problem.
Use lotion everywhere.
Now that its cold outside people are using heaters and it drys out the air.
(If you happened to have a wood burning stove it is really bad.)
It isn't harmful unless you scratch to the point of irritating your skin.

Hope I can help you once I know more. [ Jarhead11789's advice column | Ask Jarhead11789 A Question ]
