Itchy skin only at night
Hi there
For a while, I've been having problems with itchy skin. It's actually kinda recent, all this. It all started in August of this year during a holiday, but assuming I was having a reaction to whatever they used to clean the bedsheets, I ignored it. However, weeks later I was still suffering from an ungodly itch that was EVERYWHERE and often lasted the entire day. I went to get a blood test done, came up with nothing. Got tested for allergies, still nothing. Over the past few weeks, I've only been getting this itch at night and it's mainly on my arms (both upper and lower), shoulders, stomach and inner thighs.
I've got dry skin, but I've always had dry skin. I don't know if I can attribute it to skin becoming drier with age since I'm only 18.
Any advice?
