Constant Itching?
I have been itching non-stop for the past week and a half and can't figure out what it could be! The itch areas are mainly my 2 legs and its comes upper portion, . I am not putting on anything new or taking any medications. It's really weird and annoying. I even scratch until I bleed. I am going to schedule an appointment with my doctor as soon as my new insurance policy kicks in, but until then does anyone have any ideas on what it could be!?
// how come i get read of it ?
is it totally cureble ?

I use calendula lotion for itching. It's available at Vitamin Shoppe or any health food store or vitamin store.

If you are an allergic person, it could be anything... even something you eat.
Meanwhile you have your appointment avoid the 5 most allergenic groups of food:
Egg
Milk
Citric
Nuts
Fish
Use hypoallegenic soaps and creams. Check your laundry detergent not to be biodegradable and be careful if you are in contact with pets. Keep your house clean of dust and vacuum your mattress once a week at least.
Hope you have your appointment soon.
You are doing OK by not taking any medication... The doctor should see how serious your problem is

I have no idea what could cause the itching but a great remedy is hydacortisone...you can purchase it at the pharmacy for under $10. It's an ointment, we use it for mosquito bites and ezcema and when I accidently pet my dogs then touch my eyes....my eyes will itch like crazy. I put a little ointment on and in 10 minutes the itch is gone...good luck

Don't have a clue what it could be, but till you get to the Dr. you can take some Benedryl and get some Hydrocortisone Cream that should help the itching.

could it be ticks? I had this problem before. Seen a skin doctor and gave me some solution to rub on. Pls don't scratch it. The more you scratch, the more areas are going to be affected.

Could be anything? have you been around poison ivy or oak? I itch sometimes when I eat a lot of sweets. Or are you using a new detergent or bath soap?

antihistamine like allegra, aerius, stops the itching but still make an appointment with your MD
