I have had this terrible itching since I was a child(as far as I can member) I am 23 now and still don't have a clue wut this is. I've been to many dermatologist n every thing they perscribe does not work.. Now they jus tell me it's ezema I'm jus so tired of this. My arms are so scared up from all the scratching n all these years. And like most of yall I have noticed that during the summer time is when it's at it's worst.. I'm jus glad I found this site I thought I was alone.
Mine has just started up again after a year break,and now its up both arms,on my chest and neck. I been to the doctors countless times and had all lotions and potions. First doctor I saw said i had scabies! Gave me cream for it I used it and strangely enough the itch went after a couple of days, 3 months later it came back and I went to doctors totally embarrased thinking I had scabies again, same doctor said that isn't scabies! Hmmm so I threw my matress blankets cushions away for nothing! Thanks doc! Anyways my point is the cream worked on me because I believed it would (placebo effect) which leads me to believe its in my head caused by stress I think. I get it when I'm feeling run down or stressed
Does anyone who has this suffer from acne aswell just wanted to know if there was a link thanks.
