itching
by madmax255, Sep 09, 2009 06:41AM
I have an icredible itching all over my scalp.Sometimes even a burning sensation.There are times I feel like there is something very very small crawling under my skin from head to toe.It seems to get worse when I lay down and I can feel like something very small moving around.But it is most irritating anywhere there is hair.The head,legs,scalp,etc.I've been to Dermatologist and he could not figure it so he sent me to see another doctor because he thought I had neourapathy.That's not it either.It is getting to the point where I just want to shave all my hair off.......everywhere.But I also feel this sensation of crawling all over my body.

This feeling of crawling over the body is called parasthesia. Parasthesias are common in alcoholics and metabolic disorders like diabetes, hypothyroidism, and hypoparathyroidism. They can also be due to peripheral vascular disease, vitamin B12 deficiency or malnutrition.
Get your blood sugar and thyroid hormones levels evaluated. You can take some vit B12 for some days and see if the tingling is gone or not.
In case the symptoms persist then please consult a neurologist as it can be due to some neurological disorder.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
