i have had this itching on the backs of my legs (and slightly on one of my upper arms) for a weeks now, its worst at night and comes up all bumpy when i scratch it, i have no idea where it's come from as none of my washing powders/showergels etc have changed recently and ive changed my bedding and cleaned my living space etc since it's started so i dont think its anything to do with dirt, and as far as im aware i have no allergies to anything so i have no idea what this could be caused by or how to solve it. any ideas?
a better picture of it, this is just after scratching my leg at the top of my calf/back of my knee
It does look like an allergic reaction to something. When I had something similar, it turned out to be an allergy to formaldehyde [amongst other things but this was the main one] I had changed my car recently and moved away from a Volvo to a VW.
I subsequently learned that Swedish cars and Japanese cars don't use formaldehyde in the manufacturing process..
I am awlso aware that formaldehyde is used in clothes manufacture and I occasionally still get a reaction like this to new clothes.
Have you have been to your doctor? Has he given you steroid creams to try and antihistamines? Has he ruled out other causes?
Maybe try cold pressed cocunut oil. You can eat it and apply it.
