I get irrational generalised itching with no visible marks on my skin. I get it most commonly at night and often on the side I m lying on. I have tried anti-histamines, changing my washing powder and using hypoallergenic sheets. Otherwise I feel fit and healthy, but the itching is unbareable and majorly disrupts my sleep.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You might be suffering from Pruritus. You have to find out the cause for generalized itching. According to me, you should undergo Liver and Renal Function tests to look for underlying disease. Discuss with your Dermatologist to find out the actual cause for pruritus and try to rectify the cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
