What Can Cause Itching All Over The Arms And Legs?

Within the past few months, I have started experiencing relentless itchiness at night. It’s all over my body, and it seems to “pop up” in one place at a time. My leg itches, I scratch, it goes away, then my arm itches, and I’m And on. I have no signs of scabies. What could this be?

Hi,

It might be allergic eruptions or hives. As a first step, you can try antihistamines like Pheniramine for symptomatic relief. Apply alovera lotion for controlling itching.

If symptoms persists, better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
