madmen 9,362 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Can be caused by liver problems if you like a drink.

owling 11 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Try Aloe Vera. I have had itching for weeks. The aloe vera soothed it but still have slight itching, so I have just ordered Coal Tar shampoo from Ebay can't seem to find it here. Link to post Share on other sites
geriatrickid 21,396 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Start with the easiest and most obvious; Environmental factors. Over exposure to the sun? Change the brand of soap and detergent used. Next up is water. Some areas have over chlorinated to address the deficiencies in water supply, while others have pollutants in the water. Next is to determine if it is insect related, like a skin mite infestation, or bed bugs etc.. Next, verify for mold and dust. Most of the time it is environmental. Rule out the easiest first and then move on to a medical issue. Link to post Share on other sites

Filthy. so i stopped doing that. and just having to take so many showers really strips your skin of it oil. who does your laundry? some Thai laundries use some sort of soap that really smells of chemicals. not sure what it is.

RotBenz8888 16,992 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Get some antihistamines like Cetirizine. Link to post Share on other sites
rott 2,071 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I was the same, local hospital said it is an allergy, a reaction to chemicals etc in food, clothing, atmosphere etc. Gave me an injection in the bum, anti-histamines, cream and moisturiser. Cleared up quickly though I did have a bit of a reaction to the tabs. When I get a recurrence I take half an anti-histamine every two days. The itching was torture, but mainly Ok now.

Speedo1968 605 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 As there are many causes a couple of "odd" points I cannot see mentioned as possibilities:- - depending on where you live the winter season and now as we are moving in to summer there can be lots of small sand / dust particles in the air, especially when the wind blows from the China deserts. - the wind as mentioned above can cause high static which can cause itching especially if wearing nylon or polyester clothes. Wearing cotton clothes, if possible, may help alleviate the itching. - if you live in an apartment that has carpets the static again can be cause as well as dust mites. - dry laundry outside out to help prevent dust particles which may have become embedded in the clothes from coming in to contact with your body. -if using only fans to cool your body these also create a lot of static, as can be seen by the dust collected on the fan blade. - use cotton bed linen. - obviously as many have mentioned what you eat with or without chemicals added can be a major cause of allergic responses. Good luck in finding the cause and treatment. Link to post Share on other sites
