ve been having problems with dry itchy skin too. Swith to an ultra moisturizing cream instead of a lotion and take cool showers as warm water drys your skin out. Udder balm works well for me, you find it at stores like Menards. It's thick and creamy, it was originally created for cow udders lol but people use it too.
s disease may also involve the skin, blood, and endocrine system. This could explain your itchy legs. One type of skin manifestation, erythema nodosum, presents as red nodules usually appearing on the shins. Erythema nodosum is an inflammation of the fat cells under the skin which causes tender, red nodules that are usually seen on both shins.
Have you sought the assistance of a dermatologist for any prescription medications, either topical or oral? If you're able to visit a dermatologist, that should be your first step. Also a licensed aesthetician will treat your skin and teach you about good skin care. You should look to support your internal health, too. Drinking plenty of water will help to keep your pores clean from the inside out, help eliminate toxins, and keep your skin moisturized.
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.
Is there something I can use OT that will get rid of the rashes? Can this cause by prenatal vitamins? Or Birth Control pills which I've been taking for so many yrs.

Please help! I am very confused. My skin discoloration began with a small itchy patch on my lower back that later became scaly and then turned very white. Then I began getting white discoloured skin on my neck and then it spread all over my body.
Not all the white areas are itchy though, they are just white. I do have a few itchy areas that even look bruised on my body.
I have had these red itchy bumps all over my body for about 2 years now. I have gone to many doctors and nobody seems to be able to diagnose my exact problem or come up with a solution. I have had skin samples taken, blood test done and it all comes back negative. I have used all sorts of creams which thins my skin, all kinds of steroids that increased my weight but nothing seems to help. Need help.
Lack of B vitamins can also cause dry, itchy skin. Since the itchiness went away while you were taking the multi (which would contain, both B vitamins and vitamin D), you should talk to your doctor and see if you can start it again.
Hypothyroidism can also cause dry itchy skin and even though your thyroid labs might be in range, doesn't mean it's normal for you since we're all different.
Also apply some Corticosteroids, such as hydrocortisone cream on the itchy areas. A well-balanced diet that includes carbohydrates, fats, minerals, proteins, vitamins, and liquids will help to maintain skin health. Also try getting waxing or laser hair removal done instead of shaving.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
For the past 2 months I have had really itchy skin, especially on my legs. I itch all the time and I am also bruising easily. My legs have been covered with bruises (spots all over) for the past 2 months. I think that I am giving myself the bruises by itching my skin so hard, but I usually don't bruise easily.
I am not taking any medications and as far as I know I do not have any allergies. I have also not changed any soaps or detergents or my diet.
When I work out in the gym my skin turns red everywhere, sometimes even becomes itchy. I can touch my self with one finger and watch my skin turn another shade, just from a small amount of preasure, such as a light touch. I get strech marks very, very easily, and they're not a lot of small thin ones like I see everyone else with, I'll get just a couple (3-4) dark and thick ones in areas. Is there anything I can do just to strengthan my skin? Make it become more resistant I guess?

For about a year and a half I have had outburst of itchy, red, burning, swollen lips. This happens once every one or two months. It is very painful and hurts to even smile. I wake up in the morning with the skin on my lips flaking off. It starts out looking as if my lips have lost their color....with tiny tiny tiny white bumps on the upper AND lower lips. Then it begins to turn red, ooze, burn, and itch. This can last for up to a week and a half.
I have lately become very itchy. Arms, belly, and back. could my asmtha medicine be causing a reaction even thought I have taken and used for years?
Since then, I have had one on my forehead and she got one on her chin. These are not itchy, nor do they hurt and seem to develop overnight. What could it be from?
Burning skin... (I've had itchy burning hands and soles of my feet)
First, I'd spend the money on CeraVe' Soap, it's at the drug store, for your hands and the shower...
Also, a 24 hour antihistamine, Allegra is the best then Zyrtec then Clariton, take any of the 3 that you can tolerate.
Also, stay out of the heat, bright light bulbs, cover your self with a light shirt and pants.... a hat but you do not need to get heated like sweating....
It is a skin disorder affecting the scalp, face, and trunk causing scaly, flaky, itchy, red skin. It particularly affects the sebum-gland rich areas of skin.
Side effects to inflammation may include temporary hair loss. If severe outbreaks are untreated for extended intervals, permanent hair loss may result, because of damage to hair follicles.
