incredibly itchy!!!!! :(

[Busby]

For the past couple of months, I have been so itchy it is really starting to get me down. Everything itches, and I am constantly scratching to the point I am scratching my skin off. I itch everywhere, limbs, torso, head, toes, fingers, even inside my ears and nose. I have tried vitamin e and sudo cream, I have bought t gel and washed my body in it and used a ph neutral body cream. I have not changed laundry or fabric conditioner. I am vacuuming daily to keep dust away. The itching is keeping me up at night, and the more I think about it and scratch, the worse it gets. I cant see a rash or any dry skin.

Anyone have any suggestions for a over the counter remedy?

I think your best bet would be to go to a chemists and ask them for advice.

^ I think that's a good idea.

Also, if you are taking any mediaction it might be worth checking whether itchiness is listed as a side effect.

Hope you get some relief soon, sounds really unpleasant.

I can sympathise - I had really bad itchiness when my burns were healing and I was recommended to take Piriton, which you can buy from the chemist. It did help, but it can cause drowsiness. There are other stronger anti-itchy meds your GP could prescribe, too, if that doesn't work. But it's worth going to your GP to find out the cause if possible. Hope it gets better soon.
