I don't know what keeps me thinking it's something with my blood. several small years in the past the put XXXXXXX in me to check up on stomache pain. visited hospital like four times with stomach pain witch the fourth time they used XXXXXXX to help them check on anything wrong.they also put me in the tube CT scan
Brief Answer:
It is possible that the itching is due to Xerosis
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I am Dr.Kakkar (Dermatologist). I have read your query and I have noted your concern.
For an generalized itch but with no rash, I would keep a possibility of Xerosis/ dryness with pruritus. Do you use a moisturising cream?
I don't think that it is due to a reactin to the dye/ barium swallow test because it was done a long time ago.
In addition I also suggest you to take a tablet of cetrizine 10 mg once daily in evening for symptomatic relief from itching
Regards
