Itchy left arm

I have been dealing with this severe itch for 6 years now. Not all the time but when it starts up again I'm up all night long with ice packs. I have tried everything and no relief! All your symptoms match mine/ the little blister bites/ the intense itching at night/ the strange bumps and feel of the skin! help

Hi,

it looks like you were trying to ask a specific member a question within a post they had written.  You created a new post.  You may want to go back and find that original post and ask your question again.  I see you have been here a while, but let me know if you need help anyway.

God bless.

Hello,
From the symptoms it can be brachioradial pruritis. Brachioradial pruritis is an intense itching sensation of the arm usually between the shoulder and elbow of either or both arms.

The only thing that seems to help most sufferers is the application of ice to the area until the itch is diminished. Other treatments include cooling lotions like those containing camphor or menthol, capsacain or local anesthetic creams, amitriptyline and gabapentin tablets and electrical cutaneous nerve field stimulation.

Please discuss this possibility and these options of treatment with your doctor.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
