I have itching skin -- recently had back surgery but itch did not start until after -- could have been medications but I am currently off all medications except a reactine pill once a day to try to deal with the itch. At the point of itching the skin will sometimes get red strips or blotches right where it is itching and burning but other areas do not. It affects my hands and wrists, my buttocks, my legs, ankles and feet and now even my eyebrows are a bit itchy. I am going to try the polysporin products for skin itch. THe only thing the quells it quite a bit it putting witch hazel on it and it will talke the fire and itch out of it in about 15 minutes but it always comes back particularly whenever I eat - and it doesn t seem to matter what I eat - I just start to itch and burn in my legs, my buttocks, legs and feet and particularly hands and wrists. any suggestions as to what this could possibly be? I have never had skin problems
