What Treatment Can Be Taken For Body Itching?
For about two weeks, usually only in the morning (as soon as I exit the shower) but sometimes during the day my feet and legs will itch. Most of the time it s only my legs, but sometimes my arms and butt will ich also. There are no visible bumps or rash, I went to Florida last day for a few day, and the last two days I was itch free, but once I returned to Dallas I almost i started itching once I got back to my car, is this just an allergy to something in the air? I have been taking Benadril and that seems to work... Usually.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is likely an allergic reaction.
Allergic reactions can occur to different agents such as lotions, creams, soaps, foods, dust, medications.
If you wish to determine the exact allergy, you may want to consider allergy testing.
This can be in the form of blood tests or skin prick testing.
If you can determine the allergen then you can limit your exposure to it.
I hope this helps
