try changing your soap or towel.  I doubt it is the water because then your hand would itch after washing your hand or doing anything in tap water.  IF the itching stops or continues with one gone or the other gone, you know you have you culprit

Take a pain killer and a coolish bath.  Do you have Noxzema or even calamine lotion?  Perhaps a little baking soda/water paste will help.

Itch is produced due to the presence of certain noxious chemicals at the site of itch like histamine e.g. released in allergic conditions like hay fever, or substances produced by local pathogens like cutaneous bacteria that may flourish if a person has little habbit of bathing. These chemicals inturn stimulate nerve endings at specific receptors which take the itch sensation to spinal cord. When we scratch then itching stops because of following mechanisms: 1) either the noxious chemical or agent is removed or 2) the sensory receptor gets exhausted and stops generating impulses because of sudden strain of stimuli during the process of scratching 3) scratching stimulates pain nerve endings which results into supression of further sensations from that area due to reflex inhibition of the neuron. \n\nWhat you have asked can has two mechanisms, i will try to make them clear,\n\n(I). A single neuron does not end by supplying a sigle receptor rather it has many nerve endings which take sensations over a large area and different neurons are interconected with each other, this means that if one neuron at a particular site is stimulated say by those chemicals, sensations wil also be reffered to the areas of other neurons to which that particular neuron is interconnected (this is also the mechanism for "reffered pain") but normally body will preferably perceive that site from which impulses have highest frequency and intensity i.e. the original site of itch, and body will ignore other sites from which weak impulses are coming. When you will itch on that original site, the impulses from that site will vanish suddenly but from the weak sties will continue. In this way will feel as if the same sensation has shifted from original site to another site.\n\n(II). Another mechanism may be that sometimes when you scratch the itching area this cause hault of impulse generation by the receptor at that site but also stimulates other neurons to which the original neuron is interconnected and this results into shifting of same sensation to the skin area of the other neuron.\n\nAlso please keep in mind that certain dermatological conditioins in there mider form like mild allergy, hay fever, urticaria, hives, dermatitis, etc can cause itching because the receptors become sensative due to the presence of histamine and other madiators of allergy, I will recommend if it is a long term problem consult a skin specialist.

Because your body is not use to too but after a while your body will get use to it then the itching will go away and its totally normal...

Stop itching right away. Find an anti-itch cream or powder. You're damaging your skin. There could be a whole slew of microbial germs underneath your fingernails. At the very least, scrub your hands and nails thoroughly and as often as possible. Use a anti-bacterial soap and a nailbrush.\nEducate yourself with some dermatology basics. You'll be amazed what you can learn. Someone said earlier, your clothing detergent and bleach may be suspect. They're right. Never sacrifice quality when it comes to detergents.\nMany times also, there could be furniture with unseen mites which could irritate the skin. Vacuum often using hepa filters. Steam clean once in a while. Try changing your bedding linen with more frequency. Good Luck.

Use ice to make the itching stop for like, 2 minutes while you put on some anti-itch cream (Cortisone cream, Benadryl cream, Bacitracin, etc). After that, try not to scratch it and apply the cream when you need to. Another really good thing is calamine lotion. That can make anything stop itching. They make clear calamine lotion too if you really don't want to see the white lotion on your skin when it dries. Apply that whenever you start to itch and/or after washing the skin. It works wonders!

I think it could be a mental thing.  I do the same thing.  It's like I have to scratch in so many different places (mind you I actually feel the itch) before I can get comfortable and fall asleep.  It's a possibility?

While you are showering, you need to use some salt scrub or sugar scrub (sold at bath & body works).  This stuff is awesome and will make your skin so soft!  \n\nWash with Dove moisturizing soap.  Be sure to use warm, not hot water (hot water and harsh soaps dry out the skin).  \n\nAfter you are done showering, but before you dry off, use baby oil all over your skin.  \n\nThen, air dry your body or pat dry with a towel (if you rub with the towel it will wipe off all the oil).  \n\nFinally, use a good lotion (I like Neutrogena Norwegian formula Body Moisturizer - sold at any Walmart, Kmart, or Target).  \n\nThe salt and sugar scrubs are kind of expensive, so I just use them about once a week or every two weeks.  The oil and lotion I use EVERY time I take a shower, though.\n\nThis is my secret to great skin -- don't tell anyone! :)\n\nAlso, use a humidifier in your apartment to add moisture to your air.  And be sure to drink EIGHT 8oz glasses of WATER a day to keep your body from being dehydrated.\n\nIf you are continually having dry skin issues along with fatigue, hair loss, an intolerance to cold, brittle nails, and constipation you should be seen by a doctor b/c this could be a sign of hypothyroidism.

I am not sure.\nAre you itching in one area of your body or all over?\nDid you eat something , then the itching started. \nDid you walk by a certain plant , then you started to itch?\nDid you use a certain perfume or cologne,then you started to itch?\nDid you put some lotion on your skin , then you started to itch?\nDo you have dry skin? \nAll except for dry skin, would be allergic reaction to something that that you put on, inhale, or eat. \ntry and remember.\nIf this is the case some Benadryl would help.\nCall your Doctor and let him know and also let him know if you have taken anything for it. Might need to do Allergy test to see which of these you are allergic to , if it is indeed allergic reaction.\nHope I was able to help.

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.

The main reason for this is you didn't clean the anus enough after bowel movements.  I doubt that your diet causes this in any way.\n\nYou must clean with warm water, liquid soap, and dry with paper till paper comes back CLEAN.   \n\nthereafter you will not have an itchy anus anymore.  I promise you.

I get an itch dry red rash on my back from tanning beds. Try laying on your side or switch to a stand up bed. Stand up beds are awesome and take 1/2 the time.\nThey wash that plastic and it is supposed to be sterile but I am sure there are oils and residue left behind and that effects people with sensitive skin.
