Dry, itchy painful skin underneath nose...?
I have been blowing my nose frequently due to the weather and the fact that I have a cold. The frequent nose blowing has caused the skin underneath my nose to be itchy and painful. Is there anything I can do to help and make it feel better??
Any tips would be useful...
Dry, itchy painful skin underneath nose...?
after you wash your face pat gently with soft towel and put a thick coat of" vaseline"it is best right before you go to bed other lotions might sting . Trust me .....years of experience

always buy 2 ply tissues and dont tonch it too much and i usully put tiny tiny bit of lotion and i take medcine for the cold and it helps stop blwoing your nose ferquly because it stope stuffy nose and runny nose and the medince is Robtisson (i dont think i spelled it right but its close) they have a alot a medicne and helps too

Rash now itchy dry skin?
I had a itchy red rash on the lower part of my legs. It is about gone. I used rubbing alchol on them to relieve the itch. could it of dried out my skin and that is why I'm still itchy? I have tried everything to relieve the itch. Not getting much sleep at night because of the itch.
Rash now itchy dry skin?
Lay off the rubbing alcohol...this is a drying agent. Next time try a hydrocortisone cream for the rash. This relieves the itching and helps clear up the rash. Try Sarna, Aveeno skin relief moisturizing lotion, gold bond lotion. These lotions help relieve the itch and moisturize. Good luck!
Reply:i would think alcohol could have dried your skin. you should try hydrocortisone cream. it's very good for rashes and bumps. and very safe. my husband uses it after shaving to prevent bumps and irritation.
Reply:The rubbing alcohol dried out your skin which is why it is still itchy. A good lotion and a couple of days should relieve your itch. It this persists, see a doctor, itchy skin could be a sign of restless leg syndrome.
Reply:Dry skin always so irritating...I hate it so much...I suggest you try using Zenmend Derma Lotion from Zenmed or Autopalm from Skinstore.com.
Zenmed has no side effects and it's non-irritant to the
skin. It's proven to works fast and it povides Maximum
results! It's certainly a good lotion to prevent further
outbreaks.
Another product that I think is effective is Atopalm. This dry skin mlm is one of the best seller at skinstore.com now. (Skinstore.com holds more than 10,000 skin care products) It's pretty effective, and worth the dollar paid out.

Itchy irrating skin on face!!! help??!!?
ok, im a guy and im 19 years old. i have sensitive skin. on my face, everyday it always get itchy and irrating, especially near my sideburns, and cheeks. sometimes it gets red. i really hate it. what can i do? should i use e45 cream? i already drink quite a lot of water and eat fruit and veges!! thanks
Itchy irrating skin on face!!! help??!!?
I wonder if you are have food allergy. No cream can do justice if you have allergy or either that your skin is too dry,
if that's the case, drink lots of water and use a good facial cream. I wonder if it could be windburn, if so, drink plenty of water and use facial cream with spf 15+. A good drink that's very absorptive is aloe vera. You can find this at the organic food market.
Hope this helps.

Itchy, crawling skin....?
My skin feels itchy all over my body, including my scalp. I have a few (4 or 5) bug bites (large welt-like) but they are *probably* just mosquito bites from being outside at night.
I checked all over my room and my bed and did not see anything as far as bugs. I have an indoor cat who doesn't appear to the naked eye to have fleas. I started taking Chantix on Monday to quit smoking... could it be just an allergic reaction to the medicine? It is not listed as one of the common side effects but I stopped taking them yesterday and feel a bit better....

Extremely Red, Itchy, Dry skin after tanning - how to treat?
I've been tanning 3 times in a high intensity sun bed called SunSport, using tanning lotion by Designer Skin and ever since, my skin on my back is VERY red, dry, and itchy. I keep applying lotion for dry skin every 30 minutes or so and it won't stop!!! What can I do?
Extremely Red, Itchy, Dry skin after tanning - how to treat?
First of all don't use a sun bed, they emit the same amound of UV rays as the midday sun! I find that aloe vera is great for itchy skin and sunburn. You can buy aloe vera gel at health food shops or better yet buy an aloe vera plant and break off parts of the plant and rub it on.
Reply:It's called UV allergy, quit using sunbeds, if u want to have nice tan do use some tanning lotions.
Reply:use some oil,
Reply:dont tan
Reply:It sounds like you're having an adverse reaction to the radiation of the tanning bed. You should put that off until you can heal properly first.
Reply:take a cold shower and then apply calamine lotion to it and stop tanning or it will never go away.
Reply:Well what you do is, to stop the irritation put Rooibos (Redbush) teabags in your bath, about 3 to 4 bags should do the trick. The only problem is I'm not sure if you get that kind of tea where you are? If not, put tea-tree oil on your back.
Reply:noxema will take away the pain and itch and moisturize your skin. slather it all over your burn.
Reply:don't use it. ur allergic to it, they say to try it on a small area of ur skin and leave for 48 to see results. so its easy to get rid of stop using that product. and next time apply to a small area and test it out first

Itchy Dry Skin?
I'm 3 months pregnant, and my skin is sooo itchy. My stomach itches every once in awhile, but my arms and legs itch all the time! I scratch it and my skin looks like a lobster. My skin has also become very dried out. Is this a common thing during pregnancy?
Itchy Dry Skin?
Welcome to pregnancy! Yes, it is normal. It may changfe over the next few weeks or it may actually get worse. Just remember to moisturize everyday. I found a little secret at Bath and Body Works...get some body BUTTER...not just lotion or cream moisturizer...but BODY BUTTER. It is super thick and creamy and keeps you moisturized for almost the whole day without having to re- apply. You can get bosy butter at a local pharmacy or wal mart...but the ones at Bath and Body Works smell better and have lots of choices on scents.
Good luck and Congrats!
Reply:Just put a gentle lotion on your skin to cut out the itchy feeling. Go to the doc. if you think you should.
Reply:yes, use baby oil or some lotion with aloe, getting a humidifier could help hydrate your skin.
Reply:Drink water, lots of it. Your skin need hydration
Reply:yes that is very normal,and theres nothing much you can do about it,you can ask your doctor what to use for itching or i heard some people use cocoa butter.my skin is soo itchy too(im 39 weeks pregnant) that im having a hard time sleeping at night,but i found out that using a dry skin lotion helps me a little bit,and i know its hard but try not to itch because it will just make it worse
Reply:DON"T use baby oil it blocks oxygen from getting to your skin and makes things worse
The same thing happened to me, just find a good lotion
I like Renew by Melalueca
Reply:Palmer's coco butter. This will become your best friends during and after the pregnancy. I have been using this for 15 years and even more since I had a baby 5 months ago.
Reply:Yes! Generally it's a sign you are not drinking enough water. If you don't have enough fluid intake for you and the baby, your skin will start to dry up because your body is trying to get it from where ever it can. This happened to me with my first. Try to drink as much fluids as possible. In the mean time just apply lotion on the dry areas.
Reply:sorry to tell you this,,,,,but its stretching. when skin expands, it gets itchy.....try using shea butter lotion.
Reply:Palmer's coco butter is a lifesaver for your ever growing belly and I swear it cut back on my stretch marks - barely had any! Good luck!
Reply:it probably is a combination of both being pregnant and winter drying out your skin. i know thats how it is with me. like everyone else said, just lather on some lotion. its best to put it on right out of the shower since your pores are more open... i like jergens, its cheap but smells great and does its job!
Reply:yes it is normal. alot of pregnant women get dry/itchy skin while pregnant. but it is due to change in hormones. Every womans body will go through different changes while they are pregnant. my skin is really dry and itchy right now too and i am 8 months pregnant. i have had dry skin my whole pregnancy, but i also get it every winter. what i use for my skin is aveeno baby lotion with oatmeal ingredients in it. try that it helps clear my skin. i will use it sometimes once a week and it will keep my skin moisturized the rest of the week, and it wont itch.
Good Luck and i hop that helped ya!
Reply:if ur stomach is starting to strech then that could cause the itch.....if your not showing yet you will may want to maybe drink more water....stay hydrated...%26amp; cheek with your physcion. they may say use a lotion, but coconut butter is real good

Itchy flaky skin after swimming?
Recently the weather has been dry and at first it started with a itchy rash around the eyes after I went swimming in a warm pool this one time. A few days after, my whole face gets flaky when I rub it and it itches a little bit in random areas. This never happened to me before in the dry season and also in dryer places. I already live in a place that's considered "humid". It's also weird to see that I have such oily skin but it's still flaking? I put moisturizer but my face still itches and flakes if i rub it. My skin has always been oily and I didn't need much moisterizer even in the dry countries I visited. Although the rash around my eyelids is gone, it still gets itchy once in a while and I can even feel my eyeballs being too dry because it's always warm and tiring. Anyone know the problem?
Itchy flaky skin after swimming?

an alergy to the chlorine.

Why is my skin itchy?
My skin is itchy and red. Is it a allergic reaction?? What can I do to make it go away? I didnt try or use any thing new
Why is my skin itchy?
well if you live in a cold place (since its winter or if you live in like alaska) and there isnt a lot of moisture in the air....its probably just dry skin, so just try putting on some healing lotion - it cant do you any harm .... if it doesnt help at all or sooth it then ask a doctor or your parents or whatever
Reply:It may be dry winter skin itch. Try a skin moisturizer which is milk and unscented or one you have previously used. If that doesn't help, try to narrow it down to anything unusual you may have eaten (such as shellfish or nuts) in the past several days. Benadryl helps some people with itching %26amp; is available over the counter. Read the directions, it may make you drowsy. Of course, you can also call your doctor!
Reply:Here is what looks like a good website for you to look at. http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/...
I know that some vitamin defeciencies can cause itchy skin. But, yours doesn't sound like that (with the redness). It is winter so it could be the weather. Also, lack of water is a huge reason for itchy skin. Bed bugs cause itchy skin as well.
To start, I would wash your bedding, take a shower and put lotion on right afterwards, drink tons of water (and no caffeine which actually dehydrates your body since it is a dieritic), take some vitamins and eat some all natural foods. Also, lower your intake of breads %26amp; pasta (which can also cause itchy skin).
Reply:if you live somewhere where it is cold, like the east or midwest
could be the electric heart and the cold
try moisterizers if that is the case
of benadryl cream
Reply:Sometimes you may have unknowingly been exposed to a trigger. The trigger is causing an inflammation and an itch. You can use a OTC hydrocortisone cream for a short period and/or natural treatments. For ideas on natural treatments, search here http://www.eczemaskintreatment.com

Itchy skin problem?
My boyfriend has various skin problems anyway, but seems to be ridiculously allergic to the shower. He had a shower a little while ago and has gotten increasingly redder and itchier on his hands and feet. What can he do about this immediately, and what can he do in the long run?
Itchy skin problem?
Take a shower with lukewarm water. He could also try soaking in the tub with a cup of apple cider vinager and 1/2 cup baking soda added to lukewarm water for 30 minutes
Reply:Dear Sister, you can contact DR RAJAN T.D via email and he being an expert dermatologist based in MUMBAI will give you the best opinion. He has been my skin doctor since last 10 and half years and believe me he is an expert in his field. All the best

VERY itchy skin on Legs?
Ok I have heard of the pregnancy itches but this is rediculous!! I have the itchiest legs ever! I take a shower and then I start itching my legs, then these red bumps started showing up and I itched them. It feels soooo good to itch! The red bumps go away after my skin cools down after my shower. I have scratched so much sometimes that my legs hurt and are scabby in spots. I know, don't itch but I want to dig my skin off somtimes!!! I have put coco butter lotion on it and to no avail it still itches! what have you done? I am going to ask my dr at my next appt if it dosent stop. Help me!!
VERY itchy skin on Legs?
If you are pregnant, i would not put alot of unnecessary medicines on your legs... such as benadryl lotion or steroid lotions... these are commonly used to decrease itching that is due to contact with something that you are sensative to...however, if you are pregnant, you want to avoid any medicines unless they are really necessary...
If you develop welts, it may be that you have an allergy to someting in your environment.. such as new laundry detergent, perfume, chemicals in the fabric of new clothing, bedding, .. the list is endless of things that can cause contact dermatitis or skin allergies.. these can itch and be very bothersome...
Dry skin can cause what is commonly referred to as "Winter Itch" one home remedy that really works.... keep your skin hydrated... just after you get out of the bath, apply a thin layer of lotion or even vasoline to your skin while it is still wet... this will hold the moisture in your skin and decrease the dry skin "winter itch "

Good Luch,
One important thing.... If you scratch an area that is irritated, you can cause damage to the integrity of the skin and develop an infection.. this could make your problem of itching worse than it already is...
One way to Alleviate sever attacks of itching is to rub an ice cube over the area for a bout 30 seconds.. this will stop the itching and will avoid damage to your skin cause by scratching with finger nails.
Hope My Ideas will be usefull to you!
Good Luck

Reply:use itching relief cream....it really help stop the itch
Reply:uh not chicken pox, no oven mitts necessary lol. its just dry skin, its winter, and when you take hot showers (especailly longer ones) your skin dries out even more. try shortening your showers or at least the temp and apply lotion as soon as you get out of the shower to retain the moisture. good luck:)
Reply:i dont know if its pregnacy cuz i get that way all the time almost everyday i just have sensitive skin.
Reply:Yes with winter and being pregnant. You have very dry skin I bet. And espescially if you take a hot shower. Hot water makes your skin dry out for some reason. I don't know. BUt I've been told to take warm baths, not hot showers. And then put on a thick moisturizing lotion/cream. I had to do this when I was pregnant.
Reply:ask a doctor :]
Reply:if you take hot showers the hot water draws alot of your moisture out. causing you to itch. try turnin the heat down a little bit and puttin lotion on asap after gettin out. i itch all winter from all the gas heat and especially after showers
Reply:take shorter, cooler showers and use some baby oil right before you get out. Then, instead of rubbing your skin dry, just pat it dry with the towel and use a moisturizer, something without perfumes or dyes in it. Vaseline Intensive Care is a good one to use, that will help lock in the moisture just as the baby oil will and that should help your dry skin.
Reply:Try turning the temp on the shower down a little bit - you may be getting heat rash - remember your body has extra stuff going on inside and reduced circulation - your body may be sending the extra heat to your legs to try to get rid of it - you said yourself it goes away after you cool down
Reply:These days, being pregnant, it's hard for you to have anything for yourself. Vitamins, calories, and even moisture are being sucked up by your baby. It's true that, also, this IS winter. Hot showers and baths will make your skin extremely dry. Aveeno lotion or even baby lotion might do the trick. Make sure to keep your legs moisturized even before you get in the shower to keep those post-shower bumps away. =]
Reply:Try some calamine lotion.
Reply:Sounds like a candida yeast related problem. The way you described it feels like the itch is "under" the skin and you are trying to get at it. If you are not digesting thoroughly, the food particles can sit in your stomach causing immune and allergy problems. If you are not eating right, this will make it worse for you. Sugar and Carbs will make you feel itchier.
Take some acidophilus. You can buy it at any vitamin store. GNC has a really good brand. Works for me.
Also make sure you digest your food fully. If you have that feeling that food is coming back up into your throat DO NOT take tums or an antacid. This means you don't have ENOUGH acid in your stomach and when you take an antacid, you are depleting the little acid you DO have. If you are constipated, then you need to take an HCL supplement to increase your stomach acid at meals.
Good luck, it may take a few days - but if you take the supplements you will make the itching go away.
Reply:when i was pregnant i had a condition called colestasis. What you have described sounds exactly like what i had. I would go to your dr for a blood test because it has something to do with your liver. How far pregnant are you?.... I ended up getting induced because of it.

VERY itchy skin on Legs?
If you are pregnant, i would not put alot of unnecessary medicines on your legs... such as benadryl lotion or steroid lotions... these are commonly used to decrease itching that is due to contact with something that you are sensative to...however, if you are pregnant, you want to avoid any medicines unless they are really necessary...
If you develop welts, it may be that you have an allergy to someting in your environment.. such as new laundry detergent, perfume, chemicals in the fabric of new clothing, bedding, .. the list is endless of things that can cause contact dermatitis or skin allergies.. these can itch and be very bothersome...
Dry skin can cause what is commonly referred to as "Winter Itch" one home remedy that really works.... keep your skin hydrated... just after you get out of the bath, apply a thin layer of lotion or even vasoline to your skin while it is still wet... this will hold the moisture in your skin and decrease the dry skin "winter itch "
If this does not work, you may want to visit a dermatologist.

I smoked my 1st and last cigarette yesterday. now i suffer from severe coughing and itchy skin, how to stop it
i know i know serves me right. but the coughing is so bad my chest actually hurts .. how do i eliminate the coughing? any herbal recipes? will ginger help?? and does the itchy skin has to do with it?
i really want to stop coughing so bad, its painful :(
I smoked my 1st and last cigarette yesterday. now i suffer from severe coughing and itchy skin, how to stop it
Sounds like you had some sort of allergic reaction if you're itching...which is good because hopefully that means you won't smoke again! :) I'm not sure about any remedies except maybe sipping on some honey tea to help with the cough. It should go away in a day or so.
Reply:Honey and lemon.
Reply:It was only one day ago. It will go away. The itchy skin may not have anything to do with it or it could be an allergic reaction. Now you know that you don't need to ever smoke again.
Reply:First congratulations.
Second you are having a form of withdrawal. You should probably talk to your doctor, see what he prescibes. or even get the patch.
Again Congrats. Great step for thenew year. Keep going. Need encouragement let me knwo
Reply:If the coughing hasn't stopped in 24 hours, I'd say you need to go to the ER for a nebulizer treatment. That'll help relax the allergic reaction your bronchials are having to the inhaled smoke. For the itchy skin, you can try Benedryl (sp?) cream or get something when you go to the ER for it also.
Reply:allergic reaction maybe try taking a OTC antihistamine

HELP! Dark spots on teeth, bad taste in mouth, always thirsty, dry/itchy skin?
help!! I have a bad taste in my mouth for weeks, which I attributed to needing to drink more, I thought it was based in the throat I guess because it makes me want to drink and drink.... Ive also had extremely dry/itchy skin for weeks all over my body (don't know if this has to do anything with it). Anyway, last night I took a good look when brushing and found dark spots on 5-6 of my easily visible teeth!! HELP!! Are these cavities? I am in college and can't reach my dentist and I am moving in 1 1/2 months even farther from my dentist who is already 300 miles away....How urgent is this?
HELP! Dark spots on teeth, bad taste in mouth, always thirsty, dry/itchy skin?
Visit your doctor. It sounds more than just a dental problem. :-)
Reply:You need to see a doctor. I had similar symptoms and only found out when I ended up in the ER that the extremely dry itchy skin and excessive thirst were signs that my organs were shutting down one by one. Liver unable to clean toxins, kidneys unable to filter blood. Pancreatitus, all at the same time!

Does anyone know what to do for a pomeranian with flaky dry itchy skin?
I have a 2 yr. old 5 lb female pomeranian. She has got very dry itchy skin. She is black and I can see white flakes all in her fur. I have tried giving her oatmeal baths and there are not working. Can someone suggest anything?
Does anyone know what to do for a pomeranian with flaky dry itchy skin?
First, you may want to take her to see a vet if you havent, to make sure she doesnt have an underlying condition such as mites.
Other things you can try are adding some vitamin E oil to her bathwater. SHe may be a little bit greasy afterwards, but it will wear off and help with the dry skin.
Also, they sell special shampoo for dogs with dandruff and extra moisturizing shampoo you could try.
Reply:maybe try giving it an oatmeal bath and then work some
aloe vera gel through its fur?.
Reply:Don't bathe her so much maybe.
Reply:you can get a special type of shampoo but before you do ask your vet about it because some dogs can react to somethings or mabe he is reacting to something go ask your vet next time you see himor her
Reply:Is she scrathching alot? Have you tried Benadryl? 1mg per body weight. Use 25mg pills. So if she is 25lbs, 1 pill twice a day. If she is 15 lbs, give 1/2 tab, if she is 10 lbs, use baby benadryl.
Do you groom her? Have the groomer use conditioner, not the perfumed kind, like V05 hotoil.
Reply:There are special shampoos for dogs with skin
problems. Get it at the pet store.
Reply:What worked for my black lab when she got dandruff is putting a tsp of vegetable oil in her food for a few days. Cleared right up and she hasn't gotten dry skin again. =)
Reply:Three suggestions:
Check for flea dirt. Take a cotton ball and soak it in warm water. Rub the damp cotton ball at the base of her tail, under her legs (at the "pits") behind her ears. If at any time the cotton ball gets little spots of dark dirt that stain the cotton ball reddish, you have signs of flea dirt. A flea shampoo followed 48 hours later by the application of Frontline Plus for her size should do the trick -- along de-fleaing the house, her resting spots, all the laundry, the carpets etc.
If you don't have fleas (and I hope you don't but they are so hard to see on a black dog) then try adding a few drops of olive oil or cod liver oil to her food and avoid bathing her more than once every two weeks. Be careful not to give her too much oil or she will get the runs! You may also try to chainge the main grain ingredient in her food -- if there is corn, switch to rice. Some animals build up an allergy to corn, or wheat or rice and simply changing their diet will alleviate the problem.
Lastly, if she has not been bathed in awhile, bathe her in diluted Selsun Blue shampoo and rinse it well. Dogs like humans can get sebhorhea build up and it does itch and cause flakiness.
Reply:Go to your vet and see what's the problem. It might be dandruff. Or the problem might be because you give her too much baths. Don't do too much baths because it makes dogs have dry skin.
Reply:Alot depends on the dog food she eats, the cheaper the food the less it does for the dog. Holistic Pet stores are online if not in your area and can recomend a quality food. The better pet stores should be able too. Get one with natural preservatives. The top food lines all seem to make a skin food. Pro Plan makes a fish one for skin/sensative tummies that I've used and many others are available. I also use a skin supplemant, the fish oils ones seem the best. Diluted Skin So Soft is ggod for dogs coats after their baths and repels mosquitos. If you are feeding a poor food or one that does not do well with her all the baths won't help.
Reply:first identify why the skin is dry.
Are you bathing too much? A dog shouldn't be bathed more than once a month.
Are you feeding good quality food? Lesser quality foods are more likely to be an allergy or just cause dry skin. Don't feed anything you can buy in a super market or market chain. Pet supply chain stores are ok. Feed stores are better.
Is this a reaction to flea protection? Spot ons, flea collars, and powders may cause skin reactions.
Is it a skin disease? Mange?
Reply:This is very common with Pomeranians. I'd recommend seeing a vet of course...but also try a science diet with no human food or treats, limiting the time your pet is outside, bath less (over bathing a dog can cause more problems than you think), comb your dog regularly and make sure that what you're seeing isn't flea droppings.
I'd also try adding a fish oil suppliment to your dogs food. This is often recommended by the vet.

My 75 year old Dad is always bothered by his ITCHY SKIN???????????????????????
he is 75 years old and is in otherwise healthy shape...
the only thing that bothers him is constant dry itchy skin. i have bought him so many different lotions and potions.
do you know of anything that would help him??
thank you!!
My 75 year old Dad is always bothered by his ITCHY SKIN???????????????????????
First and foremost, never use soap on dry skin. Even so-called "moisturizing soap" will dry his skin. Unless he is getting really dirty on a regular basis, he only needs soap for parts of the body that are either oily or sweaty (think face, armpits, and groin). The rest is adequately cleansed with just water.
Second, as soon as he gets out of the bath or shower, have him dry off quickly with a towel, then apply moisturizer before the skin is completely dried by the air. I suggest Eucerine cream as a particularly good brand, although there are stronger ones by prescription (he can ask his doctor about Lac-Hydrin, for example).
Third, have him drink plenty of water: Hydrating the skin from the inside is as important as external moisturizers.
Finally, there are some conditions besides just "dry" skin that could cause what you describe, including eczema, psoriasis, and fungal infections. If the advice above fails, have him see his doctor.
Hope that helps.
Reply:take him to a dermatologist to get a skin test. Its probably something lacking in his diet e.g zinc.
Reply:when he takes a bath try that aveeno that has oatmeal in it for the bath water. it works great. They also have it a lotion also for afterwards.
Reply:rub petroleum jelly on his skin. it can heal the skin and keep it not so dry and itchy.it basically hold in what ever moister he has in his skin so it don't evaporate.
Reply:A lot of older people have problems with dry skin -- as skin ages, it loses some of its ability to moisturize itself and you have to start doing the work for it from the outside! But he should also make sure he's drinking enough water every day (even mild dehydration leads to dry skin), and that he's eating a healthy, well-balanced diet with plenty of the good kinds of fat in it (olive oil, for example).
If he's on any medications, it's possible the dry skin is a side effect of one of them as well. You can look the medications up at http://rxlist.com to see a list of the most common side effects. If it DOES seem like a medication is the source and it's annoying enough to want to do something about it, he can talk to his doctor about options.
Other than that, he just needs to get serious about moisturizing. The best time to do that is right after he gets out of the shower or bath, as you lose a lot of your skin's moisture when you're bathing (and the pores are open then as well, which helps your skin absorb the lotions). There are a lot of types of lotions on the market, so he'll just have to keep trying them until he finds one he likes, or else learn to live with the itching!
It might also be worth seeing a dermotologist about this, as there are prescription moisturizers that might help as well (and the dermotologist could also rule out any other causes, like medications or skin infections or other conditions).
Good luck! You sound like a great kid, trying to take good care of your dad! I hope he appreciates you! :)

Please help me figure out what is causing my itchy skin?
about 2 weeks ago, i undertook a major cleaning of my house. Ever since then, every day I am finding anywhere from 2 to 6 new spots of itchy skin. I do have allergies to dust and everything associated with it. I have tried everything I can think of from washing all of my linens/slip covers for the furniture to actually taking the shop vac to my furniture (including my bed). I can't stop scratching!! It's driving me crazy... I appear to be the only one getting these, my fiance doesn't have anything on him. I've been doing some research and these bites resemble bed bugs but I don't know where they would have come from. I shower on a regular basis... I don't know what else to do... I haven't changed my diet or anything. Could I have developed an allergy to my laundry detergent even though it's the same one I have always used? What else could it be?? I haven't been able to get to my dr's b/c his schedule is basically the same as my work schedule.... HELP PLEASE!
Please help me figure out what is causing my itchy skin?
the unsettled dust seems to have sparked your oversensitive skin to react, making your other more minor allergies to your bedsheets and cleaning products more conspicuous and extreme.
you haven't got mites, especilly seeing as you cleaned your sheets and your partner hasn't got any bites. you need to buy eqyptian cotton sheets, change your cleaning cosmetics to hypoallergenic and acohol and perfum free, and if this doesn't work, change your mattress.
in the meantime try an antihistamine product i.e. benadryl, or another brand containing Ethanolamines. this will reduce your reactions, although it will cause drowsiness even if it claims not to on the packaging
try using a spray with aloe vera extracts to speed up skin healing for the bites i.e. http://www.aloeverasupplier.co.uk/produc...

Reply:Sounds like you are allergic to one of the cleansers you used, but it could be continuing because it's taking your liver a while to purge the toxin. Take a benedryl for the itching, if you can, that should also help start the skin healing. Also, you might pick up echinacea w/goldenseal (a natural antibiotic) at walmart to help your liver along in cleansing your system if you think you need the extra help.

Please help me figure out what is causing my itchy skin?
the unsettled dust seems to have sparked your oversensitive skin to react, making your other more minor allergies to your bedsheets and cleaning products more conspicuous and extreme.
you haven't got mites, especilly seeing as you cleaned your sheets and your partner hasn't got any bites. you need to buy eqyptian cotton sheets, change your cleaning cosmetics to hypoallergenic and acohol and perfum free, and if this doesn't work, change your mattress.
in the meantime try an antihistamine product i.e. benadryl, or another brand containing Ethanolamines. this will reduce your reactions, although it will cause drowsiness even if it claims not to on the packaging
try using a spray with aloe vera extracts to speed up skin healing for the bites i.e. http://www.aloeverasupplier.co.uk/produc...

Does anyone have advice on some natural remedies for Itchy skin during pregnancy and Nausa during pregnancy?
PLEASE READ THIS IS IMPORTANT******
I answer any questions to do with a itch during pregnancy because it is important for ladies to know what risk there is to your baby.
Please visit and READ Information at
www.itchymoms.com
or
Search the web for Cholestasis of Pregnancy
Itching can be more dangerous than you think during pregnancy.
I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE...........
I don't want to scare you with this information but it is very important as not all doctors a familiar with Obstetric Cholestasis.
Go straight to your DR and ask about Cholestasis of pregnancy.
It is serious you can have STILL BIRTH.
I got itchy in my first pregnancy no rash but a terrible itch and so sick at about 36 week Dr said nothing to worry about but i nearly lost my baby boy.
Then I had it with my next pregnancy at 12 week and was diagnosed with Cholesatsis.
and now I am in week 18 with this baby and I have it again IT STARTED AT 8 WEEKS THIS TIME.
Ask to have your BILE SALTS tested this is the only test that will diagnose OC, argue with your Dr if you have to, it is worth it.
An itch doesn't seem much but it can be fatal to your baby if it goes undiagnosed.
The itching can be any where I had it on my legs and arms at first.
I don't want to scare you but please realise this is very important
Reply:Lotion...a lot of lotion. Maybe something with a cooling sensation, if you're skin isnt broken out.
Crackers and small meals for nausea. Or you can do like I and go to sleep once you start feeling sick. I've heard ppl say ginger, but when I was reading herbs you shouldn't consume while pregnant, ginger was amongst them.
Reply:If your skin is a dry, and you are bothered by it, I suggest you try using Zenmed Sensitive Skin Care System from Zenmed or Autopalm from Skinstore.com
Here's are some good references:

Ok Ok ... I'm sorry if this grosses anyone out - not my intention but When I touch my ear ... it feels dry and itchy ... so I try and take the skin off.. and then liquid falls from it. I can't afford to go to a dermatologist .. so I'm kinda S.O.L.... does anyone know of any home remedies that could help with this? ? ? I'm allergic to white creamy medicines. Thank you . . .thank you thank you!
