Itchy all over but nothing visible

[steelercountry]

About a year ago I notice that I itch in random areas on my body.  There are no visible rashes or marks.  I don't have to keep scratching, just scratch a couple of times.  Doctor has no clue, I am not tearing at the skin and itch when I relax.  I don't notice it when I am busy.

I have neuropathy but that doc told me this is not the cause of the itching.  I forgot that for a while I was itching in different spots, if it is dry skin it doesn't look like dry skin.  It is mostly my feet and hands.

Hello,
From the symptoms neurodermatitis needs to be ruled out. Neurodermatitis develops when nerve endings in the skin become irritated, triggering a severe itch-scratch-itch cycle. Common causes of nerve irritation include an insect bite and emotional stress. I suggest you to get an examination done from a dermatologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
