Severe itching all over constantly

Women's health

Hi, itching has been mentioned by someone previously but it got no response. For me at the moment this is the worst symptom to deal with. Apart from being very unpleasant it stops me from being able to get to sleep and my partner has gone into the spare room many times because he can't stick my 'fidgeting'. It is also quite embarrassing to be scratching constantly when you are in public. Please can you give me some advice on what I can do to alleviate the itching? I'm desperate!!

Hi lynette when you say itching is it inside or out

Try an antihistamine. That stopped it for me. Something like Loratadine.

Hi Lynette I itch all over and yes its so embarrassing at times I use an anti -histamine   when it gets to bad I just get the cheap ones and they do the trick I take them for a couple of days then it seems to go for a while. hope this helps

Hi Karen, thanks for your response.

I itch all over the surface of my skin with no visible cause.

Hi, I take antihistamines every day for hay fever but I still itch but thanks for your response anyway.

Then the pills you're taking for hay fever don't work for the itch, you need to find one that will control the itch. I had this too until I found loratidine, was I able to function again.  Claritin was prescribed by my doctor but now I just buy the generic ones called loratidine.

Hi Lynette.

Try Eurax creme. It's not greasy and smells pleasant. I used it when I had chicken pox a few years ago, and I've used it ever since for any itchiness. I too get very itchy, but this has really helped. All the best x

Hi Lynette I have severe itch in breast nipples every day it goes and comes drives me crazy nothing works.

Did you try vaginal cream? That seemed to help me.

hi lyn, do you have bruises from itching  ? i stopped using soap over those areas that get affected and applied organic coconut oil . the itching and bruising stop for a while... but may reappear just like with other peri symptoms

I get bruises from scratching too vigorously.

I will try the coconut oil and see how I go.

Thank you.
