Whole body itching all over! Please help?

Why are you turning to drugs? The itchy skin is probably an intolerance to something you are eating. Anything from wheat, to sulphites. Please dont take drugs other than a last resort, you are adding to the list of chemicals your body has to try and eliminate. I am a naturopath, trust me

try to detox or deworm your tummy.that can also means u have parasites on your gut

Change laundry detergent to Dreft. It works!

Hello every I am new in this site.please I need help can any one tell me what is the course of itching pain in the body.some tims I do feel some iching pain in my body

I had the same problem... Awful, baths nightly in aveno.. I learned it was stress. During the day our body is working very hard it is in full force, stress shows in a number of ways. I learned that my stress came in the form of a rash, it was able to surface once my body was more relaxed- not fighting/flighting anymore. It was miserable... Eventually it resolved itself and occasionally still pops up, but I try to ease myself through the day and if I have to handle it- an aveno bath, benedryl and work to keep my stress levels down. Our bodies respond and cope in amazing ways...

Laundry detergent!

Time to head to the doctor for answers!

Hi All, been following this question. i also have same issue for 3 months now. I feel scratchy throughout the day & night. More at places where skin touch each other. I get bumps if I scratch.
Went to doc he gave loads of medicine but doesn't say the cause so I don't want to be part of trial and error method. Initially it was mild now it has increased a lot & i feel extreme scratchy. I am unable to control in public place as well.
Suggest any tests that i could take to know what is the issue? Any temporary ointment/medicine with no side effect?
Any natural remedy?Please help.

I have this problem too, but usually at night after I get into bed. I take many medications, and each one of them has itching as side effect listed. I've found that taking a couple benedryl at bedtime helps me a lot. I stop itching, and it makes me sleepy, so it's a double blessing.
Another thing that can cause itching, especially for those who have sensitive skin, is using fancy shampoos in the shower. Many of these are aromatic, and have oils added for that purpose. While I'd love to be able to use them, I just can't. When you wash your hair in the shower, and add conditioner as well, they can cause the entire body to itch. I have to use a basic shampoo, and I usually wash my hair at the sink instead of the shower just to be sure it's not getting all over my body.

I've just started itching all over my body for a or so ,I've not got a clue why ? Anybody got any ideas why

This happened to my teenage daughter. We had her tested for allergies. Nothing other than dust mites. We thought it was something she would have to live with. Then my younger daughter got it about 2 months later. Then my husband and I got it. We went to the dermatologist and she suspected scabies. Don't know where we picked it all up but it does spread among family members. We are currently on the medication, but they say it can be a month before all the itching goes away. Itching was bad all the time but mostly at night. My daughters had it mostly on their hands and legs. I had it on legs and around the belt line and thighs.

I've had the same problem for 5 months now. My Dr. has done several blood tests and tried various meds on me. No luck :/ I find relief when I take Hydroxz Pam 25mg caps and rub Permethrin cream 5% or Benadryl ointment all over my body. Sometimes in my sleep, when I'm sedated, I scratch so hard I tear my own skin. My scalp, face, neck,back, arms,hands, legs,thighs, feet and breasts itch a lot. :/ :(
