I've been itching all over my body, from my scalp to my feet to my back for four days and it just wont go away! Any remedies to stopping the itch?

try lotion or maybe a hydrocortisone lotion could be your allergic to something like body soap or maybe laundry soap

Go to a doctor, you could have some kind of alergie.
Do you have pets??? That could be another cause, maybe your dog has fleas.
I have a remedie but I live in Mexico and I´m not sure if you can find it there. Corn flour would help, but not the dark one, but the one used to prepair the mexican drink "atole". If you live near the border you might be able to find it, it´s called Maizena.
Maybe plain flour could help, just use it like baby powder.

I would first try Benadryl. It's an antihistamine, and this could be due to an allergy. Also try taking a hot shower with no soap. You may be reacting to the detergent in your laundry or the soap you used.

If it's bug bites, try Caladryl lotion...you could also try a bath with oatmeal in it. If it just doesn't seem to be going away and/or there is a rash, go see your doctor.

Hydrocortizone cream if it's something aggravating your skin. Is your skin just extremely dry? Try Gold Bond medicated lotion.

Oatmeal Bath...You may have Chiggers if you were in the woods or tall grassy area.
Chiggers are bad, I had to get a steroid shot to get rid of them.
But they spred all over and I mean all over!

well, you should go to the doc, just to make sure you don't have a skin disorder....but for a quick fix you can use benedryl and hydrocortizone creme (both are over the counter)

You probably have an allergy.
See a Dermatologist.
