Itching skin help?

anyone know what's wrong with me?





1. i feel itchy all over my limbs - ARMS and LEGS only.





2. there are no bitemarks, or whatever. skin looks normal and i just feel itchy and that i have to scratch. and after scratching for awhile, a few spots appear in the itchy region - pinkish and raised (like a little pimple), which will usually scab later and leave an unsightly scar.





3. i work in an air-con blasting office and i do not get the chance to step out. so i'm always in a cold and dry environment. but the temperature in my country is in its 30s (celsius), and humidity level is really high (more than 70%). point is, when i'm in the office, i never itch, but once i finish work, and am outside, i'll start feeling itchy awhile later.





4. my mum told me that it's dry skin, but i've put on LOTS of oils and lotions but i'm still itching.





please help, i'm desperate and i have no idea what's going on.

Reply:Try putting on aloe vera gel.


Or hydrocortizone. (Don't put that on your face though)
Reply:poison ivy?





also cortizone helps itching.
Reply:I would suggest seeing a dermatologist as there may be more to it than just dry itchy skin.
Reply:It could be dry skin, but women are susceptible to gall bladder problems (gall stones) which can lead to itching over the body. But it's hard to say if there is no other info and I don't know your age etc. It could also be some sort of allergic reaction to a detergent or clothing, see your physician and tell them of your concerns.
Reply:You could try benedryl cream, aloe, or hydrocortsone. either you have an allergy or you have dry skin and you are using a lotion that is irritating your skin.
Reply:You need to see a doctor, because it can be many or a combination of things. You can be allergic to your work environment or all of a sudden become allergic, it can be a change in laundry detergents, fabric issues, internally, or whatever.





It's not normal to itch all the time. Only a doctor can diagnose what you have.
Reply:Sounds like you may have eczema; it's a condition people have when they have trouble keeping moisture in their skin. It normally affects regions of the body that bend like the inside of the elbows or even the back of the knees. Your job may have the perfect environment for your skin to stay moisturized and the cold outside air strips the little moisture you have causing it to dry and crack which is causing the itching in the first place; see a Dermatologist...

Also, when you shower make sure you don't use over hot water. And put moisturizers on while skin is still slightly damp, so you seal the moisture in. Look for a moisturizer without perfumes, maybe one called hypoallergenic or for sensitive skin. You might want a humidifier at home to add moisture so your skin wont dry out as much.
