It's happened a few times before. My forearm will itch, for example, but if I scratch my forearm it provides no relief as if I've completely missed the mark, but if I search around scratching maybe the top of my arm or somewhere else that's not itching, then I sometimes find the right spot to get some relief. Do you know what I'm talking about? Has this happen to you? Why is this?

nerves sometimes 'short-circit' and give you a reaction it soould not. like turning on a light in the living room and the tv fuzzing. how about a eye twitch,same concept.

Hi,\n\nIf you are talking about the human body......Yes it happens. Probably because your food intake is right but a one time slipup has initiated it. My personal experience & i'm not even close to being a doctor.\n\nThanks & Regards\nVinod

I had a constant numbness up both my arms last year and pain in my fingers for months. I went to a practioner who treats the person as a whole and he manipulated the top of my thigh and Ive never had the numbness since. Sounds dodgy but Ive been  going to this guy since I was pregnant and he knows what hes about.  I would look under osteopath or holistic treatments in the phone book. Good luck.

it might be an allergy, i have a nickle allergy, and nickle is in the blade of razors, i itch just like you,in fact it was really bad earlier tonight, i find it helps to put a cold, wet flannel or towel on my legs, it calms it down, my doctor sent me to the hospital for tests and thats how i found out i was allergic to nickel, itchy legs also affect me at "that" time of the month,no cream works for me, try the doctor again and ask for an allergy test, good luck

Hair makes you itch sometimes. I would shave if I was you. I have really long hair. (growing from my head, not my arm pits) and I keep it pulled up most of the time because when it's down and brushes against my back, it itches. So since you arent going to put your arm pit hair in a pony tail I would suggest shaving it off.

Yay, I'm not the only one!!!  Have you noticed that happens less in the Winter?  It's mostly allergy related, my dentist said I have an extra bone in the roof of my mouth that is common, and that, with the addition of allergies, even if you don't think you have them, the "skin" there strethches, gets tiny little tears and then itches when it's healing...a fast solution is to lightly brush the roof of your mouth so that you don't ake any more tears, rinse with Listerine, and then rinse or drink sips of ice water.  If all else, fails, and if yours seems worse at night like mine, take a Benadryl allergy---awesome stuff and gets rid of it completely!!  this only happens to me maybe once a week during the spring.summer and maybe once a month in the winter

you have a reflex that causes you to feel uncomfortable in a particular situation.  everyone has one, or two or multiple, they are just more intense or in a different place than where yours is.  I cant stand if someone touches me at all, unless there is an invitation for a hug that i am willing for someone to be near me.  it is extremely normal to have one of these, it's like a tick.  you'll probably always have one of these, and it might change places or may lose intenisty and you may be able to tolerate it more.  it's so strange to have those, isnt it?

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.

Flea bites are itchy, not very big but never made lumps on me.  Try putting alcohol on them.  You got into some kind of bug. If they don't start fading in a couple of days see a doctor. Guess it could be fleas and you just react differently.

Well first off thats normal. You will sometimes get a itch or a pulsate in your legs after walking long or running. You have to do your best to not scratch it. The itch will fade

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!

You can stick nicotine patches virtually anywhere - apart from close to your heart - with equal effect.  I've stuck them on my bum before now, but not many people know that.  Unfortunately, if the patches make your arm itch they will probably make anywhere you stick them itch just as much.  You can get other forms of nicotine replacement therapy, at the moment I'm using a 'pipe' with nicotine cartridges and am finding them much more effective than the patches were.  Good luck with quitting!

Mine start to itch almost immediately. I am allergic to them though so I don't know if that makes a difference or not.\nWhen I get bit, the bite turns into a circle from 2" to 4" around, itches like crazy and then will bruise after a few days.\n\nI did find out something that works to take the itch out, deodorant! You really have to slather it on there, but it does take the itch away for awhile!!!!

I believe you have! I had the same thing happen on my thigh. It was a large area and was soooooo itchy!I took about 2 weeks to get back to normal. I did not seek medical help, but that might be the wisest thing to do

Hi DJ, I do not what to disappoint you, but I have got stretch marks as well and I can tell you that none of all so-called stretch removal creams or alike do not help, do not waste money.However, I can suggest you how to prevent a new stretch marks - Usually you fell itchy in particular parts, so do not scratch and if it is possible apply moisturizing creams or oils, but try not to scratch. My sister was pregnant, she followed my advise I she does not have stretches on tummy, but she did not take care of her legs (because she gained weight)and there are stretch marks.Take care

Have you made sure the stinger is no longer in your skin.Make sure you have completely removed it.I found placing ice to the area helped the swelling and use anti-bacterial ointment to help aid the healing.It will begin to itch so be careful not to scratch it.Use calamine lotion to stop this.Good luck I lnow it had to hurt I've been stung before.

when i used to work out at the gym using weights i started getting a similar sort of pain and went to see my doctor as i thought it was my heart, he told me i had torn a muscle in my left armpit and gave me tablets to fix it, but i seriously used to think i was having a heart attack as the pain also shot down my left arm. It could also be severe wind  i know it sounds stupid but wind can travel anywhere in the body. But i would get him to your doctors to be safe. good luck.
