Suggest Remedy For Severe Itchiness On The Right Side Of Body While Sleeping
why do I itch extremely bad only right when I get sleepy? I was itching so very bad until I had to take something so I took some Benedryl and it went away. now I have to take one daily to keep from itching. I take 25mg. my primary care Doc. blood work and said it was fine. But I still itch like crazy from head to toe. feels like a pins are sticking me all over.

Hi,
Severe itching especially in night is suggestive of SCABIES, but if it is occurring only over the right side then you must consider ruling out any neuropathic cause of itching. I would suggest you to please visit any local dermatologist as physical examination is required in both the cases for diagnosis.
Hope it helps. If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact us.
