Ive got everything Ive never had before. and I'm in so much pain.

First it started out with just scratching, as we all do, we think nothing big of it. Then i started getting itchy all over me.
My chest, back, thighs, feet, hands, neck etc: I tryed this 'chickweed ointment' but that did nothin but stop me from getting the erg to scratch it.... but the ichyness never went away. then we figured maybe it was scabies so Ive tryed this 'Derbac M' and that only turn ma skin lookin ugly. the ichyness has gotting worse. they have grown into big red and purple rash 'things'.
On top of that Ive got the biggest head aches i have ever had. I can't do anything that involved moving around or thinking to hard cos i will pass out. And....... I have these weird pains in my stomach, like some1 is stabbing me. and it goes up and to my chest then back down to my stomach area. I can't eat properly i get to sick from eating and my stomach area gets even more painfull. I've never had these symtoms before and my family and friends have never seen anything like it aswell. I have very, very sensitve skin. i don't know what to put this question under. but hopefully some1 can tell me whats up. fanx!

Hello,

The various possibilities for your symptoms are skin conditions like psoriasis,dermatitis,lice,scabies and hives, internal diseases like liver and kidney disorders, iron deficiency anemia, irritation and allergic reactions to chemicals,wool,soaps,cosmetics and certain foods  can cause itchy skin. Another possibility is of eosinophilic gastroenteritis(an uncommon gastrointestinal disease causing itching and abdominal pain. A history of atopy or food allergies is often present).

You can apply an anti-itch cream or lotion to the affected area. Oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl can also be used to get itch relief.For abdominal pain,pls take some analgesic(pain reliever) like ibuprofen.You should take a comfortably cool bath and wear smooth-textured cotton clothing. Covering the affected area with bandages and dressings can help protect the skin and prevent scratching. You should choose mild soaps without dyes or perfumes and use a mild, unscented laundry detergent when washing clothes, towels and bedding.

Pls take an opinion from a physician if the symptoms persist. He/She will start with the specific medications. If an internal disease is found, whether it's kidney disease, iron deficiency or a thyroid problem, treating that disease often relieves the itch.Lastly,Phototherapy can also be tried.

Take care and do keep us posted on how you are doing
