Have Severe Itching Of Skin. No Medication Till Now. What Is The Remedy For This?
I have recurring "flare ups" of severe itching. It is so bad that it is like I HAVE to scratch. I fight it but it takes all my energy. Once I scrached so badly it was a massive open sore. Scratching only makes it worse and scratching is so painful I cry hysterically. When I have a "flair up" I can't sleep, I hardly function. If I keep fightin, my pelvid muscle spasm repeatedly. It is not in my head and nothing helps. I have scratched until I had a sore the sive ofr credit

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The severe itching all over the body can be due to dry skin, eczema, liver disorders or dermatitis. This needs a direct examination by a dermatologist to find out the exact cause.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
