Itchy skin - no lesions?

My skin is really itchy - especially at night. I itch everywhere, arms legs, torso, back, face, ears. It is not severe but it is annoying and keeps me from sleeping because I am imagining that there are bugs on me (I have done several very close examinations and am certian I dont have bed bugs) I dont have any scabs or bites or track marks or anything visible on my skin that would suggest scabies or fleas or anything like that. What could this be?

Itchy skin - no lesions?
It could very well be eczema. Sometimes you get no noticeable marks from it, but it itches like crazy! I personally have it and recommend seeing your doctor. They will give you a steroid creme ointment or sometimes if it's severe enough an injection or oral medication. The creme is what I have and it is a relief for the itching! See your doctor to make sure that this could be what you have and not just some bizarre allergic reaction to laundry detergent or something.
Reply:If your place is worm or hot you might have bed bugs. check for bed bugs , they are small black dots like a pin needle. When i go to bed i get them them some times, i put the pillow and my bed sheet in the freezer for a few hrs in a garbage bag to kill them .
Reply:You really aren't going to see evidence of scabies.


Check with a dermatologist to be sure you don't have that.


There are others forms of chicken pox out there too.
