What Causes Severe Itching All Over The Body?
I am experiencing chronic itchiness - all over my body. I am not seeing any bugs. These are not mosquito bites. I have applied alcohol, witch hazel, and tea tree oil in order to get some relief. This has been going on for about a week. Should I contact my primary care physician and/or a dermatologist?

Hi,
Thanks for using Jealth care magic. I understand your concern.
Severe itching of body can be due to severe allergic reaction..try to apply calamin lotion/steroid skin ointment to body &take tab. Cetrizine once a day.This should help.
Fungal infection csn cause such symptoms. Here steroid ointment exaggerates otching. Here antifumgal oral medicine &ointmrnt would help.
Thanks
