I've went to the doctors explained everything they told me to get some moisterizing lotion which I did. Because I have really really dry skin. I can spell words on my skin. So I figured that maybe its my cheap walgreens soap thats making me itchy. I figured this because eveywhere I put some on my body itchies. Could this be allergies too.

it could be some of the ingredients in the soap that u may be allergic to that is making ur skin itchy. stop using it for a week and see if it stops itching because u stoped using the soap and uh talk to your doctor.

The issue you may very well be having is allergies to the soap you're using. Even though Ivory is a very mild soap, it can still cause reactions. Use Dial unscented, as this is the soap recommended by my doctor and it works very well for me. I'm allergic to "stuff" too. If you use a hand lotion. find one that gets along will with your skin. Gold Bond works OK for me, as does Lubriderm Fragrance Free, my favorite. Stay away from anything with a perfume or fragrance, and you may find the condition gets much better. What might you be coming in contact with that you are allergic to? If you figure that out you'll be on the right path. Good luck.

It could be your soap, try using soap for sensative skin. It also could be your laundry detergent and fabric softener, use stuff without downy, and scents. My niece has this same problem, whenever she used soap other then the one she uses, or has her clothes washed with anything with downy/perfume in it, she breaks out and gets all itchy. Good luck!

During this time of the year, skin dries out easier. Yes, it could be the cheap soap.
Try the following: use a moisturizing soap(package should say it)
and use a good moisturizing lotion, there are several, most of them good.
By the way, if you're into scratching words onto yourself, don't write anything you don't want anyone to read.

Yes, that could be it. What works well for me is glycerin soap that I get at the health food store. It's great stuff, feels good on your skin, comes in a variety of fragrances, smells good, and takes care of the dry skin. I still need lotion, but glycerin soap is much better than any other kind for this problem.

You must also take into consideration that it's winter and dryer than usual. Use a moisturizing soap, or contact a dermatologist and ask what they recommend.

It could be your soap, your laundry detergent or fabric softner
