cebu4u User ID: 66142907 Canada 12/31/2014 11:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For the couple months, I have been a little itchy. It's progressed to EXTREME itchiness!! I have scratches and bruises from the unrelenting need to scratch. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45756425 No bugs! I also don't have dry skin. I've tried: baby oil after showers, oatmeal bath, tons of unscented lotion and cream, cooler showers, Benedryl, calamine, Benedryl lotion, coconut oil, olive oil. When I step into a super hot shower, the water stings but feels like someone is giving my skin a good scratching...problem is that I get INTENSE itching afterwards. I live in a super cold climate, but there's no dry, flaky skin. Everywhere from my head to my toes itches. HELP!! I get panicky sometimes with how bad it itches and I sometimes want to take a wire brush to relieve it (no worries, I never do!). Try Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar - it works for tons of stuff, and can't hurt. Also - it might be a food allergy - possibly dairy - try giving that up for a couple of weeks and see if it helps. Good luck! |

How about detergents, and other soaps? Switched to anything new lately? You need to examine what has changed in your environment (or anything you're consuming) during the time your symptoms have manifested. |

I get panicky sometimes with how bad it itches and I sometimes want to take a wire brush to relieve it (no worries, I never do!). Sounds like liver damage. I would go get a liver profile blood test done ASAP or go to a doctor. Symptoms of liver damage include itching throughout body and bruising. Are you a drug user or heavy drinker or do you take lots of tylenol (or frequent but in combination with drugs and alcohol)? Get it checked out ASAP. |

Also, you may not think you have dry skin, but try applying moisturizer after your shower. That will tell you a lot. Wait, the itching is a above the belt right? If not, use Tinactin. |

RefreshPage User ID: 63251169 Canada 12/31/2014 11:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Super hot showers are really bad for itchy skin. Makes it worse, a few minutes after you get out and dry off. You could try putting the oil on while you are still in the shower, after soap. I do that sometimes when my skin gets dry and itchy. I use coconut oil. I usually dump a few capfuls of Apple cider vinegar over my head and shoulders after washing my hair. That helps sometimes too.

Desert Fox 12/31/2014 11:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Correct. Seeing no bugs means nothing, as scabies lives beneath the skin. Worth a check up with the Dr. to at least eliminate scabies. Mr. Obvious might be on to something as well. :TOMABANEFOX: It's more humane this way ya know, or burn on totem pole. Choice is yours. |

I've found most of the time skin irrigation is due to laundry soap, fabric softeners, ect. A lot of time people add too much laundry soap to the wash |

Got rid of the intense itching "invisible" parasite using Tea Tree Oil. Teaspoon added to a plain water bath. Caught in the rift between Deja Vu and Amnesia.
