What Could Severe Itching All Over The Body With Some Rashes Indicate?
I have apparently developed an allergy to something that has gradually been getting worse over the past several weeks. Symptoms are all over itchiness with a few small red individual bumps where clothes seem the tightest. I have washed all my clothes several times in baking soda and vinegar only, eliminated all soaps and lotions and it has not helped at all. I can t lean back against a chair or seat or my back goes itchy crazy. I gave tried wearing different types of fabric but that doesnt seem to matter either. Hydrocortisone cream provides some relief but not a lot. I have not changed my diet or had anything new that I can pinpoint. No new meds except Mobic, which I eliminated 2 days ago, but really need it for a torn rotator cuff. I am at my wits end and don t know how to figure out what is wrong.

Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears to be the allergic reaction, to some thing which you come across, like,lenin, woolen, color of the clothes, foods, pollen of the flowers, cosmetics, soap,pets. With this you might not be allergic previously, but has developed allergy recently.
Try to avoid one thing which you use daily, and make a note of the allergy. and like that find the things you are allergic.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms levocitrizine, montelekast, and triamcinolone injection .
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
