This happens to me every fall and lasts into the winter. It may be dry skin. I get it on my legs and I scratch my self raw. I use only Dove unscented soap and arm and hammer perfume free laundry detergent. I also use Lubriderm fragrance free lotion to help with the itching legs. I developed this as an adult... never had this problem when I was younger. Once spring hit's I'm fine.

I would still say you're having an allergic reaction. Laundry detergent and soap is a common thing to be allergic to, but there are a lot of other things that could be making you itch:
-Maybe you're allergic to a type of fabric you're wearing, or sheets. Wool is something common that people are highly allergic to.
-Maybe you're allergic to a pet? Dog, Bird, Cat dander could make you itch.
- Maybe you're allergic to some kind of food you're eating every day?
- Maybe you have something like Poison Oak/ Ivy?
Good Luck,
If none of this helps I'd see a doctor! They could help you out a lot.

It could be something as simple as very dry skin..especially with the season change....we even have a name for it..xerosis
but it could be a sign of systemic diseases.. if you are a middle aged female primary billiary cirrhosis could cause this. Certain kinds of jaundice can also cause this.
Some blood conditions like Polycythemia are often described as causing itching particularly after hot showers.
Dont mean to scare you..but if you have had it for a month may be a good idea to visit your doc and get some basic blood tests if he thinks necessary.

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/p7n73
If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.
It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

Consult a dermatologist or a doctor for proper advise. In some case, you have allergic to foods and the environment (ie. air pollution).

Hi Kahlien
Itches are a sign of an internal issue. Your body is telling you, you have toxins that need to be expelled. If the body cant get rid of the toxins its sends out signals (itching). A colon and liver cleanse would be beneficial. Here is the defination and some remedies to heal you.
Cause
Itch is caused by various germs or bacteria trying to clean the body through the pores of the skin (instead of through the kidneys and the bowels) resulting in formation of pustules or rashes accompanied by intense itching.
Herbal Aids
1.General Instructions: For itch and other skin problems, use a fomentation over the irritated area made with chickweed tea and/or plantain, burdock root, Oregon grape root, and echinacea--covered with plastic. Or, bathe the area with the tea a number of times during the day. Chickweed or plantain ointment is an aid for small outbreaks. Drink a cup of the tea two or three times or more a day. To each cup of the tea you drink add three to six drops of tincture of lobelia.
A wonderful aid to relieve cases of dermatitis is found in the walnut family, using black walnut hulls or leaves or bark (Juglans nigra), English walnut (Juglans regia), or butternut (Juglans cinerea). Treat the skin malfunctions the same as above.
Take one ounce of powdered golden seal root and mix thoroughly with nine ounces of linseed oil. Use the medicinal linseed oil from the health food store or drug store; DO NOT use linseed oil from the paint store or hardware store--apply freely, externally. Use as an oral aid white poplar bark (Populus tremutoides--also known as quaking aspen), one cup three times a day.
For the most severe cases of skin diseases in the advanced stage, use a combination we have called Bone, Flesh and Cartilage combination, internally and externally. Repeat procedure. Make a tea of the following herbs: six parts oak bark, three parts marshmallow root, three parts mullein herb, two parts wormwood, one part lobelia, one part skullcap, six parts comfrey root, three parts walnut bark (or leaves) and three parts gravel root. Soak the combined herbs in distilled water (at the rate of one ounce of the combined herbs to the pint of distilled water) for four to six hours, simmer thirty minutes (do not boil), strain and then simmer the liquid down to one-half its volume. Example: One gallon of tea simmered down to two quarts of tea, which is called "concentrated" tea. Soak flannel, cotton, or any white material other than synthetic--never use synthetic--wrap fomentation (soaked cloth) around the malfunction area and cover with plastic or wax paper, leave on all night six days a week and for as many weeks as needed until relief appears. Then continue a week or two for severe cases. Drink one fourth cup of finished concentrated tea with three-fourths cup of distilled water three times or more each day.
2.Plantain and Yellow Dock: Make a strong tea of equal parts of plantain and yellow dock , and bathe the affected area frequently as a wash.
3.Itch Ointment: See formula using burdock root, olive oil and bee's wax.
4.Black Walnut: Black walnut tincture can be applied on itching skin. This works especially well if the irritation is due to a fungus or similar invasion. One ounce of powdered golden seal root mixed with nine ounces of pure, food-grade linseed oil (not paint store linseed oil) can be applied externally with good results. White poplar bark tea should be taken internally.
5.Poke: The skin is an indicator of toxicity in the body. Poke is a good remedy for skin problems. It is also good for "the itch" in cases of scabies. Anytime you have skin which doesn't eliminate properly along with vitiated blood, you can well use Poke. It is said to be a great eliminator of toxins out of the system. Usually the glands are not performing properly in these conditions so the herb works on both areas. It is often used in chronic eczema, syphilitic eruptions, psoriasis, varicose veins and leg ulcers.
6.Plantain: Plantain bruised, or juiced in a juicer, and placed over the sting or bite will generally bring relief within a short time. The pain and itch will cease and the swelling will leave.
Best of health to you.
Cheers
