Also since then I have had itchy skin all over (not on the bumps on my arms. Mostly around the face.) I was thinking maybe I have dry skin? I have been using lotion a lot more lately, and have washed all my clothes and bed sheets. My mom checked my head for lice (maybe I picked something up at the renaissance fair?) and says that I don't have any (She is a nurse so I trust her, so I think I have dandruff). Anybody have any idea what this could be? I'm kinda stressing out over it.
Other conditions cause itchy skin as well. Skin conditions like dermatitis, scabies and hives, internal diseases like liver and kidney disorders, diabetes, iron deficiency anemia, irritation and allergic reactions to chemicals, wool, soaps, cosmetics and certain foods can cause itchy skin.
You can apply an anti-itch cream or lotion to the affected area. Oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl can also be used. You should take a comfortably cool bath and wear smooth-textured cotton clothing.
During pregnancy, some women experience itchy skin, especially on the abdomen, thighs, breasts and arms.
Hello~I am so sorry you are going through this. 13 years is a long time. Has your doctor done any blood work? Have you seen an allergist or dermatologist, you probably need a more specialized physician than just a GP.

Any suggestions for a woman who is 101 yrs old and has extremely itchy skin especially on back, neck, chest, arms. She has been to dermatologist numerous times and everyone seems to be stumped. Her skin does not appear to be overly dry except on her face and ears. She does not have any rashes. The only skin abrasions are where she has scratched herself. This little lady is in misery. She has lotion put on her body everyday after her bath, but not on her face...
She had a pace maker placed 2 weeks ago and ever since she has broken out in a whole body rash and no one can say what it is or where it came from. Her skin looks like the skin of a chicken, very fine small bumps all over that are extremely itchy from the inside out. We have tried everything over the counter and natural and all be it the outside is clearing up peeling and drying out the itching on the inside is still there.
Does it happen when you sleep elsewhere? Have you changed laundry soaps? Are you pregnant and taking an anti- morning sickness medication?

Hello,
Itchy skin that isn't accompanied by other obvious skin changes, such as a rash, is most often caused by dry skin (xerosis). Dry skin usually results from environmental factors that you can wholly or partially control. These include hot or cold weather with low humidity levels, long-term use of air conditioning or central heating, and washing or bathing too much.
Other conditions cause itchy skin as well.
