hi! i have had this crazy itch for about 6 years on and off. been to the drs many times. they dont seem concerned and go through the usual routine ending with cortisone cream. i have had a deg disk problem for about 10 years which is interesting but as so many people have back probs this could just be coincidence. so pleased that there are others (many others with this itch and im not alone) i am female, in my 50s. are there many men with the itch?
