Avatar n tn Thanks for all of your advice on itchy arms - I have suffered this problem for 30 years -it is getting much worse now as I get older - calamine lotion used to help years ago when it was mild -then i started taking antitistimines and they helped for a few years, but now at 55 even they no longer work. It is much worse in the summer months.
Avatar f tn I have suffered from unbelievable burning/itchy arms for over 25 years. Ice was the only thing that gave me relief. I scratched until I bleed and it came and went with the most severe problems in winter and at night. Same pattern for so many of you who posted here. I have been to 22 different doctors - dermatologists, internists, neurologists, Therapists, Herbal remedies, Acupuncture - no answers at all. Then I find this web site and people are talking about Chiropractic relief.
Avatar n tn I have been suffering from itchy arms for about 10 years now. I am actually up right now in the middle of the night with ice on both arms. It is awful and defintely wakes me up. If this is related to the sun, how do you avoid the sun on your arms. I play tennis at least once a week and am a big sweater, so covering my arms would not work. Does anyone know if using sunscreen will help or does your arm have to be covered up?
1690397 tn?1341110391 It was all red and bubbly skin. My arms and hands broke out with 100s of little itchy bumps (like an allergic rash). In days, it spread to various parts of my body including my scalp, my stomach, my thighs (front and especially back) and my forefeet. I can only sleep several hours and am awakened especially by a burning, itchy (suffocating) rash around my neck. The little bumps stay but kind of fade out after a couple of weeks. The itching attacks come randomly throughout the day.

Avatar f tn I have suffered itchy arms on and off for ten years. Usually if I go out into the sunshine without barrier cream. It can last for a few weeks. It starts with burning sensation and I can feel the hairs on my arms standing up. Sometimes I get a stinging sensation which is unbearable, I haverer to dig my fingernails into the area to get relief This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/241701'>Severe Itching on arms</a>.
Avatar f tn I have had itchy tingling arms for over 20 years. I have been to so many doctors, I've lost count. Some say it's allergys. Some say it's stress. Some creams work for a while. I've taken alot of allergy meds. Zyrtec seemed to help more than the others. I also take Doxipen. the Dr. just doubled my dose. I have a steriod cream that I use as well. It only helps during the day for a while.
Avatar n tn t know how itchy arms happens but I found something that made the super itchiness in my arms stop. A friend who's had a life-time of eczema told me about bleach baths. So I did as he advised, I took a cup of bleach (Clorox) and poured it in a bath tub of warm/hot water and got in it for 10 minutes. The first time I did this ended all of the itching. Four days later I did this bleach bath again because I thought I felt the itch returning and again it worked.
Avatar n tn i was reading the post that you guys sent in about itchy arms.
Avatar n tn This has also been a problem for me off and on since I had mono in 2001 and got the milk of the yarrow plant on my arms. Currently my doctor has sent me to the gastro to get my stomach and colon checked out. They are looking for Celiacs disease. For me, I do really believe it's related to both allergies and cervical spine misalignment, which I just learned could be the reason today as I googled... Good luck to you in finding the cure.
Avatar n tn Hello everyone! There used to be an 'itchy arm' forum started in 2000 on PiA, but was disbanned today. Anyway, I was a member there since 2008 and have had itchy arms for 8 years myself. Thank goodness I found out what was causing mine after 7 years. I did ALOT of research and found out about brachioradial pruritus and it's various causes. Many of the "Deep" itches talked about are actually nerve related which is why neurontin helps. It's also why ice helps...
Avatar f tn I have been suffering from itchy arms for about 20 years and nothing helps except ice packs. There is no rash, this seems to come on in the late summer to early fall or when I am particularly stressed. What might help? Someone suggested I may have a sulfer shortage in my body.
Avatar n tn I have been dealing with the itchy arms for the past 4 years. It starts in August and lasts a few months. Last night was by far the worst it has ever been! I live in the Cincinnati area. The itching is a deep prickly feeling with no visible signs on the skin. The more you scratch the worse it gets. It is so frustrating and No doctor seems to have a clue what it is!!! It is on my arms, from the wrist to my shoulders. but now it has been on my neck as well.
1040102 tn?1253004057 I have had itchy arms for 20 years. There is no rash, scaling, or anything. It can come on at any time of the year and usually lasts for 6 to 8 weeks. The more I scratch to more it stings and burns. It feels like someone is sticking me repeatedly with a needle. Its driving me crazy!!!! can anyone help. I have heard I could possibly need a neurologist.My arms will bleed I scratch so much. Ice gel packs help more anything Ive tried.
Avatar f tn I HAVE HAD ITCHY ARMS FOR 5YRS ON AND OFF AND THE ONLY THING THAT HELPED WAS ALPRAZOLAM AND THE DOCTORS WILL NOT PRESCRIBE IT TO ME ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO?
Avatar n tn Welcome to the site and to the community. You have come to a place where people are very supportive and have a lot of information. I would like to point out that as the information on your left says, this is only my personal advice and you should always consult a doctor with problems first. Also, while it is understandable to want information or advice about medication/s you should never alter or stop without speaking to the prescribing doctor first.
Avatar f tn Last Wednesday (20th), she began to complain that she was itchy. Friday a rash showed up on her torso, under her armpits, only on her sides down her ribcage. Nothing has gotten the rash to go away. We have washed everything repeatedly, soaked her in epsom salt, oatmeal, and baking soda baths (not all at the same time). Her pediatrician gave her two rounds of antibiotics. We even gave her Benadryl.
537799 tn?1222116971 The rash is GETTING WORSE by day, it starts spreading on my neck, arms and legs..... Very itchy, some areas just flare up like sunburne, others look like leopard skin with purple very itchy square-ish rash spots. I am taking Clarytin, Hydrocortisone cream, but nothing helps much. The talk seems to be ok on the inflamed areas, but not enough. anyone knows does the rash disappear after you finish treatment? How fast?
Avatar f tn Yes i am 32 weeks and havent stoped itching today especially my belly i have ended up itching it raw its bothering me so bad i put cream on it and still hasnt helped :(
Avatar f tn It is probably a bacterial infection. I tried home remedies for two days.. nothing helped. Finally called the doctor who prescribed an anti bacterial cream, which was an instant relief. Simply call up your doctor as she would suggest something for quick relief. Don't aggravate your problem.
Avatar f tn My throat is itchy and makes me cough which causes round ligament pain. I don't have the cold/flu, just the cough. It is bad enough that it wakes me up at night. Any ladies that know how to get rid of it? Thanks in advance.
