probably just dry skin...people forget to moisturize as they get older...get a really good, moisturizing lotion and that should help the itch...if it doesnt go see a dermatologist, he could have exima or something like that.

Let him know how you feel.  The older I get, the more I b-itch. Everything from our government's corruption to the screwin' the American Oil Cartel is giving us.\n\nFrom the idiots that can't answer questions but CAN forward your calls to a voicemail to the kids at McDonalds who actually have the nerve to ask what you'd like to order, then stuff whatever THEY WANT to, in your bag.\n\nThere's a lot to whine about these days and I, like your husband, find it tough to converse about anything but this stuff! \n\nGo easy on the old guy ( I am guessing old, because I am).\n\nEveryone outside of your home is trying to kick his hardworkin' posterior.

I would take him back to the doctor.  I would think he needs to be re-evaluated.  Tell the doctor that you suspect it could be a yeast infection because he is itching.  Children can get yeast infections.  If it is, maybe they could prescribe some Nystatin. Also~ Don't forget to give him probiotics if it is yeast.  (Found at your local health food store)

Someone who itches all over should seek medical care. Because itching can be caused by such a wide variety of triggers, a complete physical exam and medical history will help diagnose the underlying problem. A variety of blood and stool tests may help determine the underlying cause.

you will need to take him to a vet....he may need allergy shots....and if you can pinpoint what is causing him to itch that would be good......take him to the vet.

Could be anything from a mild form of urticaria (hives; some people itch without the actual hives forming), to thyroiditis to liver or kidney disease to dry skin.

It could be a lot of things, with the worst being a skin cancer. He needs to go to his doctor or a dermatologist to be checked. Some of the skin cancers can actually spread and become fatal. Tell him you love him and want him to be around for a long time, then hand him the appointment card....

Seriously, I believe I would take him to the doctor.  When I worked at dermatologist there was a lady that came in with big clear fluid filled blisters and they were some kind of bacterial infection and she had to take oral antibiotics.  If nothing else a doctor could probably give you a note to let him in school with socks only until it heels.  I really hope that he feels better.  Good Luck.

sounds like blood infection.  (bacterial)  \n\nIF SCABIES: try ointments with CROTAMITON.  if this doesn't work, I bet blood infection is the answer to the riddle.\n\nTIP:  SEPARATE HER BEDDINGS AND OTHER CLOTHES TO AVOID CROSSING.  IF THIS IS SCABIES AND YOU SHARE THE SAME SOFA SEATS, BEDDINGS ETC. , YOU SHOULD BE SCRATCHING YOUR SKIN BY NOW.  \n\n****can't wait for 10 days????****\n\n(this one is unethical): try taking VIRLIX just once. one tablet, then nothing more.  it won't do your granny harm.  then see if she's losing the itchy sensation.  <---if that is the case, then it's blood infection.\n\nGO CHECK DOC REGULARLY.  \nJOMAR S.T.

if he has a bad case take him to the doctor/ they usually prescribe prednisone/ calamine or caladryl works well to stop itching temporarily/ if he takes a shower have him take a cool one/ as warm water opens the pores and can cause more spreading. ice packs help with itching also/ there is no real cure for poison ivy or oak

It's the flesh-eating virus.  Get your leg amputated immediately!  J/K  I get little patches of the same thing on occasion just under my armpits.  I just apply a little Vaseline cream, and it clears up in a day or two.  No pain, no itching or irration.  Just a little strange.

Take her to the dermatologist to get an allergy screening done. It could be anything from pet dander to cottonwood to dead bugs.

Itchy hands are most often associated with a skin condition or rash. The commonest of these is eczema. This itching could be due to an allergy to something you have come into contact. Common allergy causing agents are household detergents or factors linked to your occupation. \n\n\nIt is very unlikely that the itching is related to your circulation. There are other conditions that give rise to itching but the itch tends to be more generalised all over the body. You will need to visit your GP so he or she can assess your hands and advise you on the likely cause and treatment. If you are worried about anything in particular, it is very important that you tell you're doctor.

ugggh- i had them last year.  He can take advil- that will help, but mine were so awful that they gave me vicodin.    I also had this stuff that my mother in law gave me (she's a physical theraptist)- it's called biofreeze.  that stuff was great for the pain and the itching.
