Honey you might have Eczema. It's a non contagious skin condition that makes your skin really itchy and causes rashes after you itch. You need to make an appointment with a dermatologist RIGHT NOW. I have it and it's a struggle but with the right treatment you can get through it.
Reply:i'll scratch it for you
Reply:Have you tried Sarna cream? Ask the pharmacist about it. If that doesn't work you need to see a dermatologist. You could also have an allergy. Don't use fabric softeners and use only detergents for sensitive skin. No dyes or pefumes.
Reply:Yikes that is like water torture. You may have some kind of skin infection going on, so I would highly recommend a visit to a dermatologist. In the meantime, soak in some Aveeno oatmeal bath stuff. That will soothe your itching. I had this going on and finally got smart and went to the Dr. It was a staph infection, which required some antibiotics to get rid of. Really, it may cost some money but go to a dermatologist if it persists. Best to you.

Reply:Buy some benadryl so at night you don't itch, it will put you right to sleep. Also, see a doctor and get some percriptioned stuff
Reply:I went to the doctor with my daughter onec because of this and the doctor gave me some Eucerin lotion. It's a dry skin therapy lotion. I also used a soap that doesn't dry your skin. I'd go to a pharmist and ask him what to use or your doctor.
Reply:I am also prone to itchy skin. Everyday I use a mild soap in the shower and then immediately moisturize with a heavy lotion without drying off the water. Also, I use non-allergenic fabric softeners to avoid reactions. I have eczema so this is common for me and I use Elidel to keep it under control. You can talk to a dermatologist about it (as others have recommended). It's not worth living with the misery of itchiness! For fast relief of itching, use cold water or ice packs. Taking a cold bath (as cold as you can stand) will relieve the persistent itching until you can get something to help you permanently. Note also that if you, by chance, partake in indoor tanning, this can cause severe itchy skin and should be avoided if you are sensitive to it.
Reply:It could be any number of skin irritations or conditions.


An allergy, eczema, or psoriasis. Although eczema and psoriasis usually have dry or red patches that itch. I have psoriasis sometimes in the winter, and use this lotion called


"dermarest medicated moisturizer". It's coal tar free. It helps instantly.
Reply:Are you allergic to the laundry soap you use?





When you take a bath/shower do you make sure ALL the soap is off? Are you allergic to that soap?





Do you have a food allergy?
Reply:You should consult a doctor.And you should start using Arbonne products.They have no harmful chemicals.You obviously have very sensitive skin.Most likely,you are allergic to one of the chemicals in one of your products.Arbonne is made for sensitive skin.You need Arbonne Hydrating Body Lotion.E-mail me and I can tell you how to purchase some.If it does not work you will be able to get your money back.
Reply:I know someone with a similar problem. First make a appt. with a dermatologist. Your doctor can refer you to one. One thing you can try is washing your clothes and sheets in deteregent that has no dyes or perfumes and same with the fabric softener. Purex makes both





You can also switch to a mild soap like Ivory.





Hope it gets better.
