Long, hot showers or baths can cause overall itching especially this time of year. They dry out the skin. It is called winter itch.\n\n1. Try taking a quick shower with warm water.\n2. Put lotion on body as soon as you get out even before skin\n   is completely dry.

I have itchy feet and love travelling. I have been to quite a few places on this planet. I have travelled thousands of miles on my own and loved every minute. I would rather "do" than fantasize about what I could have done. Lifes too short to wish you had made a different choice. :)

Could be bug bites or some botanical reaction. Try putting on some cortisone cream with aloe and that should stop the itch. If not, try taking an antihistamine (like Benadryl) to relieve the reaction.\n\nIf all that does not help, try this crazy cure... coat the skin and bumps with clear nail polish. The polish will starve the infections of oxygen and stop the itching.\n\nOh, one other thought about what it could be... have you been abducted by aliens lately? Just asking.

When you exercise, your heart pumps faster and your blood vessels dilate as a mechanism for heat loss due to your energy expenditure.  With exercising, you are detoxifying your body of unwanted wastes and toxins through sweating.  One reason you may be itching is because of the release of  these unwanted wastes through the skin.  This should resolve after exercising and having taken a shower. Another more probable reason is that your blood cells release their histamines, and these mediate the itchy sensation you feel.  This should also resolve after exercising. Not everybody has the same reaction to increase physical activity.  Good luck!

First of all, is it Poison Ivy or Poison Oak?  Poison Ivy is East Coast, Poison Oak West Coast.  From my experience Poison oak is worse.\n\nOnce you have the reaction it is just a waiting game, and doing the best you can keeping it from getting worse.\n\nSome people say that if you know that you were exposed but haven't shown any reaction yet, you should take a shower and wash with a soap that drys out your skin.  Contrary to popular belief the temperature of the water you shower with is not important.  You should do this whether you are showing a rash or not. \n\nAlso be very careful with the clothes and equipment you were wearing when you were exposed, they should be cleaned right away and dealt with carefully because one can contract the reaction from these items. \n\nIn fact what you are suffering from is an allergic reaction.   The ooze and rash are your bodies way of dealing with the oils of the plant.  Yes benadryl is a good choice, but I wouldn't use the cream; take the pill form.  Not only will the benadryl bring down the reaction, but it will also prevent the next time you are exposed from being a worse reaction.  Some people say that you build up an immunity to it if you are exposed regularly, this is not true.  In fact the opposite is true!  It gets worse with each exposure.  \n\nThe cream you should use is Calamine lotion. Some people with sensitive skin are allergic to Calamine lotion as well so watch to see if it gets worse.  If so discontinue use.\n\nAgainst popular belief once the oils have been cleaned off the reaction can't be spread to other people or other parts of the body.  If you see it spreading it is because that area was all ready exposed before you cleaned off the oil.  Sometimes though the allergic reaction gets worse and looks like it is growing in surface area, this is not because it is spreading but because your immune system is stepping up the "attacks".\n\nIf you have problems with the Calamine lotion don't use anything.  Take your benedryl, wash it with drying soap, keep it dry, and expose it to air.  In a week or two it will go away.  \n\nBut be warned, some people get a very bad reaction a person could theoretically die from!  So if it gets worse and worse go to the doctor immediately.\n\nGood luck.

You should definitely see a doctor.\n\nThe rash could be a fungus or an infection.  Try an antifungal cream or an antibacterial ointment.\n\nPerhaps it's poison ivy or some other irritant.  Make sure you wash the area clean with soap and water.

90% of the time, itchy skin is merely a sensitivity to something in your environment--it's the other 10% that you'll need to be concerned about.  Itchy skin can be a symptom of certain cancers, such as Hodgkin's Disease Lymphoma.  I ask you, are there other symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, night sweats (drenching amounts of sweat that only occur while sleeping), or fatigue?  Even if there isn't, I'd still recommend seeing a doctor, who can use some simple blood tests to determine whether it's worth further examining.\n\nYou may also be experiencing allergies to something such as detergents (I doubt this one, or you'd be itching everywhere clothing touches you), dust, soaps, shaving creams or gels, or even certain foods.  Think back to when this all started, and see if you can remember any changes you made out of the ordinary.  You may also try changing your razor if you shave your legs; sometimes the blades of mass-produced razor heads aren't in exact allignment, and the tiny little scrapes that they produce--even if you didn't feel them when they happened--can become irritated and make your skin itch.  In fact, the little bumpy rashes you described fit nicely with this possibly being the problem.\n\nFor relief in the meantime, you can try taking Benadryl tablets along with using Hydrocortisone creams.  You're right to be aware of how much you're scratching, since it's easy to make a bad situation even worse by creating little open wounds with your fingernails.\n\nWhatever you do, please go to a doctor first and work this issue from worse-case scenero first before switching over this and that, these and those.  \n\nGood luck to you!

It could very easily be contact dermatitis.  Is it in a place where the area is iritated by your waistband, underwear, or belt?  Are you allergic to nickel, or other metals?  Have you changed your, soap, body lotion, or detergents?\n\nAnother possibility is a childhood condition called Miliaria rubra, but more commonly referred to as "prickly heat," that some adults may suffer from.  In this condition, the sweat ducts become clogged.  This is a quotation from DrGreene.com: "....the pores of the sweat glands get plugged, resulting in tiny pink bumps or even water blisters. These bumps tend to show up on covered parts of the skin, especially where there is friction from clothing. The forehead (under caps or visors), body folds, the upper back and chest, and the arms are the most common locations. Prickly heat is most common when it is hot and humid...." \n\nOf course, there are many possibilities.  The best thing to do is not to scratch  it, nor treat the condition over the counter.  Get in to see a dermatologist as soon as possible, as you are in discomfort; or contact your primary care physician for a referral, if your insurance company requires that.\n\nFeel better soon!

The itch you feel is a reaction to the mosquitioes' saliva and your skin. I don't think I have ever heard of anyone that is immune to it. Also, you getting bitten has alot to do with your body temp, and odor. If you have a sweet smelling perfume on or emit a sweet odor, you attract mosquitoes and those wearing no scents and bug spray of course, are more likely to not get bitten.

This is what I think you have. I suggest going to a Dermatoligist to determine what this is.  It could be an allergy.  It could be an infection.  But I also have these red bumps.  All over right now because of the cold weather.  When I get cut, when I get hot, when I am cold, when I run, they itch, burn, and hurt.  I use hydrocortizone to cure the itching.  I hope you find the answer your looking for.\n\nKeratosis pilaris (KP) is a very common genetic follicular disease that is manifested by the appearance of rough bumps on the skin and hence colloqually referred to as "chicken skin". Primarily, it appears on the back and outer sides of the upper arms, but can also occur on thighs and buttocks or any body part except glabrous skin (like the palms or soles of feet). Worldwide, KP affects an estimated 40 to 50% of the adult population and approximately 50 to 80% of all adolescents. It is more common in women than in men. Varying in degree, cases of KP can range from minimal to severe.\n\nThere are several different types of keratosis pilaris, including keratosis pilaris rubra (red, inflamed bumps), alba (rough, bumpy skin with no irritation), rubra faceii (reddish rash on the cheeks) and related disorders.\n\nMost people with keratosis pilaris do not know they carry it. While KP resembles goose bumps, it is characterized by the appearance of small rough bumps on the skin. As a result, it is often confused with acne.\n\nKeratosis pilaris tends to occur as excess keratin, a natural protein in the skin, accumulates around hair follicles (process known as hyperkeratinization). Unattractive more than anything else, it most often appears as a proliferation of tiny hard bumps that are seldom sore or itchy. Though people with keratosis pilaris experience this condition year round, it’s during the colder months when moisture levels in the air are lower that the problem can become exacerbated and the “goose bumps” are apt to look and feel more pronounced in color and texture.\n\nAlthough exfoliation, intensive moisturizing cremes, and medicated lotions containing alpha-hydroxy acids or urea may improve the appearance and texture of affected skin, results are not permanent. There is no known cure for this condition

You got hive. You can take some benadryl now but it won't go away...go see the dr. and get some prednisone and hydroxizine and epipen asap. Don't scratch. The more you scratch the more they spread. If they are too itchy ask the dr. write you the rx or itchy cream also.
