Have you eaten anything different? I would say change your laundry detergent and give it a try for a couple weeks.
Are you taking meds that could be a side effect?

Just make a list of everything you have changed or meds you are on, I know it aggravating but a dermatoligist would put you through testing which you can probably figure out yourself,

Sounds like heat rash or maybe yeast, Good luck Remember diaper rash on babies were bumpy and itchy,

I get this itchy thing too..tops of my hands legs and tope of my feet are worsed..it drives me nuts It goes away like all the rest of the stupid sypms!. We just cycle?.it all comes back at some other time? does me anyway..I hate this disease!...

sorry no help here really, just keep your showers cool if you can not to make the skin hotter?....

I got the same thing, it is all over my arms and legs. I thought is was the Tramadol that I had started taking but then went off it and it was still there and itching like crazy. So I started it back again because the medication was really helpful with the pain.

I hadn't changed anything either, soap, detergent, food, everything is the same. It's gotten better over time and not as red and itchy as it was but still there. Wonder if this a new symptom for us?

I itch too, I thought it was all my allergies or reaction to meds. My skin will start to feel warm then I break out in either small hives or large red bumps. Have noticed that stress triggers mine. I use anti itch cream cause I'm already on ton of meds.

I'm allergic to formaldehyde and break out in lumps and rashes. If I use the hand sanitizer at work, I break out really bad too. I've had a few more weird outbreaks from artificial christmas trees and even while cleaning the fish tank.

The lidocaine cream works great at reducing itch.

You can become Sensitive to Anything at Anytime...

I do get that Itchy rash tho from Time to Time..fo me it Hits my Chest and Core...No idea WHAT brings it on...ya have to Look at Emotional causes as well..Stress within Ones Life can bring on a Multitude of Rashes..Hives..

Materials..Detergents..Cold Air..Hot Air, HUMID Air..Perfumes.

My Daughter is Actually Allergic to COLD Air !! I Had NEVER Heard of That !!

Tis also the season of dry skin and this extreme mad winter season has the furnace running briskly and even with a good humidifier skin will tend to dry and will cause the itching causing the red bumps causing more itching the cycle never seems to stop(can we all say spring!)....and the nice warm showers and baths are a added bonus for dry skin...so here is for spring and humid days ahead!

i itch too, but it is either the cold weather or it is my allergies so then I take an allergy pill. i do know that bumpy skin is called chicken skin and you need to exfoliate it. from what I read it is dead skin cells building up and will cause alot of itching. I scrub with a lufa I found it really helped.

I have bad itchies...too the point of clawing myself rawat times. I have been using that new Eucerin Calming lotion. It works pretty good. I had been using Gold Bond lotion in the green bottle but the Eucerin seems to work better. Neither of these have the alcohol and perfume that sting so bad with other lotions.

My docs tell me it is sensitive nerve endings near the skin surface. It makes sense to me. The spots that get itchy on me are places were clothes have a tendency to brush or rub my skin.

Good luck....gentle hugs.

I get that as well. I'm not sure where it comes from

me too-it's so irritating!

Me too...

Here is an interesting article...

I almost always have some kind of rash. Right now it is on my breasts and left hip..drives me crazy!!! I have been to various doctors and the emergency room of a hospital in a small Alberta town. The doc there had never seen anything like it. At that time it was on my back and all over my front, including my breasts and my arms and legs. That was the worst it ever was. He gave me 5 days of steroids. Pretty much knocked it out for a while. But just when I started to feel comfortable again it returned but not in the same way. Thankful for that. Right now it is just various patches on my body. I HATE it...

hi, i am itchy also; on the bottom of my arms. there are raised little bumps, but only on the bottom; i have no idea what it could be, i am just putting cortisone lotion on it and it stops itching for the day.

fayerae,
Great article. I saw Dr. Wallace several years ago as he is well recognized for lupus and fibro as well.

I don't recall which but one of my doctors recommended SARNA lotion OTC. It is an anti-itch lotion. Only problem is for anyone sensitive to smell, it does have a smell, but I've been able to tolerate it. Also rx Atarax, but it does have side effects.... makes you drowsy and some others. Being drowsy has been the only one I've experienced. I only use it after I've clawed my skin raw- which was just a couple of nights ago. Miserable feeling, but I've experienced it for several years. As Sue B noted, I tend to experience it more during winter months, but also seem to be allergic to some flowering plants during summer if I even walk by them in a garden. Haven't been able to determine which plants. Hope you get some relief.

As I am sitting here reading I am scratching away and then I saw the subject...itching! So yes, yes I get you where you are coming from.It drives me nuts!!! I didn't know if it was a fibro thing or me just being crazy... But I break out with these red spot all over and can't stop scratching. I remember one doctor saying that can happen...if I could only remember which one said it... damn fibro fog
