Very itchy I dont understand it ?

Question

I do not have any type of skin cancer, ezema or anything but my legs and arms tend to itch so much I cant understand why im so itchy and its real irratating and it seems that I itch more at night then during the day and sometimes it makes it hard for me to sleep and I hate it.

WHAT could this mean??

should I see the doctor about it I just feel stupid going to the doctors over itching lol you know??

Answer 1

There are a few things this could be.

1) It could very well be nerves, stress

2) Change your bedding?

3) soaps you've been using causing an alergic reaction

4) Medications

5) Something you ate

6) detergents

Could be anything. You might want to try taking a shower with no soap (possibly shampoo too) before you go to bed and see if you itch. Try narrowing it down.

Answer 2

Is your skin really dry? This can make you itchy. Try moisturising more often, especially after a shower

Answer 3

go to the doctors, it might be dry skin.

Answer 4

Definitely see a doctor, it could be an allergy or an internal condition. Only testing will give you a clear answer. Try vacuuming your mattress and get a mattress protector. Use very mild detergent for your sheets in the meantime. And double rinse with hot water. Do not use fabric softener. Just in case your allergy turns out to be mites, you will be ahead of the game.  Good Luck

Answer 5

Tanning Beds or too much sun??  Nothing worse than a tanning bed burn, they itch.  How about a new fabric softner.  Do you have animals that sleep in your bed?  Its that time of year, fleas, even if there is only a few that you dont see?

Answer 6

ring worm

jock itch

something

Answer 7

maybe ur skin is just dry. put on lotion all over where it itches (uncented lotion. or nivea body) and see if that helps.  

Answer 8

this could be restless legs and arms, see your dr. and see what he has to say about it,  do you have a lot of drinks with caffeine in them  this could also cause you to be restless at night.

Answer 9

Maybe your skin is dry and you need to put on more lotion.

Answer 10

itching is nothing to be ashamed of to go to the doctor's about. it could be parasites, or something worse, you never know. But you sound like me, I found out I was alergic to my laundry detergent. but you should se a doctor, just in case

Answer 11

you should probably change your sheets often or wash with a different type of soap....like Lever 2000 or soap without scent
