Itching

pinkfranz

Has anyone experienced severe itching.? This is an itch that cannot be scratch because it is below the skin.

Yesterday it started off a pretty good day until the itching started. I was helping my husband and all of a sudden I had a terrible itch on the bottom of my foot. I thought it was from dry skin so I soaked my feet hoping this helped but, the heat made it worse. The itch then started in other places on my legs. I took a neurotin and put ice packs on the areas that were itching and it did help.

Am I crazy or has anyone else experienced this? If so what helped with you.

Thanks bunches Diana

Last yr I asked my nuero about the itch.
He said it is just another type of pain.
I have whole body itch my back is the worst.
Even though you can not touch the itch I use a medicated cream
urea 10% cream Uremol
I use it on my whole body once a day & my back 2-3/day
taking benadryl also helps.
they call it nerve itch
hope this helps

After my first attack my right breast itched intensly and constantly! There was nothing there( dry skin, rash) nothing and it was a deep under the skin itch. It was so embarassing and I was convinced it must be cancer. It eventually stopped ... I get similiar itches on the bottom of my feet.

Hi

Yeap!! It doesn't discriminate, I get it anywhere. My latest was on my wrist, it lasted maybe thirty minutes but I scratched myself raw. Everyone keeps asking what happened,,I just replied very serious,,well I try to commit suicide, but it didn't work out,,and then LOL. They know me, so they forgive me.

Usually I rub ice, it works most times, sometimes I'm to tired to get up.

Hope some of the remedies help you.

When I started Rebif my back would always itch. But since my body has gotten adjusted to Rebif, no more itching.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
