Itchie Skin

[Kara]

For about the past two weeks, my skin has been very itchie.  It doesn't look like a common rash.  It's also not in one targeted spot.  I itch everywhere, but at different times.  My feet and hips could be itching.  Or my hands and head.  It's different body parts at different times.  The place that itches looks red.  There is almost like a raised white bump.  Not a perfect circle.  Some are oval or square.  Some will be 1/2 an inch long.  They don't look like pimples, but like blisters, but there isn't anything in the bumps.  I haven't exposed myself to anything new like soaps or foods.  Please let me know what the possiblities on what this is.

I am getting an extreem reaction after a nice soak in our new hot tub!  My skin breaks out in little blisters that are terrible itchie!  Is this what they call priclie heat?
Someone suggested taking sulpher tablets as that would open the pores?

Anyone ever think it could be "SCABIES"?

I have dealt with this for ten years..I would really like some help.  I have been to see 4 dermatologists, 2 regular physicians, and one emergency medical clinic.  The palm of my right hand gets VERY dry, peeling, and small water blisters.  Most of the itching and blisters occur on the side of my hand near my pinky finger.  Within the last year, it has spread to the backside of my hand, but in a different form.  This looks more like poison ivy (I think) but is just an itchy red rash.  My hand is VERY swollen from this.  I have noticed that a hot bath, nerves, doing the dishes, etc seem to make it act up.  I also have the same thing that is on the PALM of my hand on both of my feet.  I am in a profession that requires alot of meeting people, and I avoid that at all possible cost as it is very uncomfortable shaking hands with someone.  I have tried steroid creams, and was taking steroids orally at one time.  During the week that I took the oral steroids, I noticed that it cleared up dramatically, but could only stay on those for a week, then it came back.  SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!  Its making me crazy

I too have started getting very itchy all over.  It started about 2 weeks ago.  Sometimes it stops and other times its unbearable.  I asked the pharmacist what I should take and he recommended Benedryl; however, that makes me tired and I don't take it during the day.  I don't have a rash with it, but of course, after scratching, I'll get red in the afflicted area.  I never heard of winter itch. I live in NY and yes, it can get very dry.  But, this has never happened to me and its making me crazy.  The pharmacist said - that if I went to a doctor, he or she would tell me to use benedyl - so I don't know if its even worth going.  Its mostly in the stomach area, even though at times its generalized all over.  I was also advised to use cortizone.  Does anyone have other recommendations?  Like, should I start taking Vitamin E????

My husband has suffered with severe itching for several years. There is no rash, no bumps, just itching. Particularly where there is body hair. It seems to be related to pollen, not winter weather. The only relief is from Eucerin cream but it is not enough. Any ideas?
