What to do
Hello
My name is Sanja and I am coming from Croatia. Ma english is not so good so I am hopeing that you are going to understand what I am going to wrote and sorry for grammar mistakes and also hope that you will have some time and patience to read this and help me.
So I have a big question. My stepfather have a big problem with his skin and there is no doctor here in Croatia who knows what is wrong with him. The biggest ant the major problem is that his skin few times a day starts to burn him from inside, itching him that he dont know what to do except to cry because he cant help himself. None of the cream, lotions, pill and advice what to do arent helping him. He have been to a various doctor for other opinions, been to a thousands of skin test and some other tests that they are maby related but nothing show what is wrong. All of the tests and exam were ok. No one can tell what is causeing that. But I have to make a mention that he have some other problems with his health. He have alevated cholesterol / cirrhosis liver / problems with his prostate / elevated blood pressure and also maby mention that his father died of cancer (gizzard), his sister (liver – I think so) and this year few months ago the doctor discover that his other brother have cancer on a gizzard and have been operated immediately.
But my stepfather have been also on that tests for a cancer and everything was ok. Also for a liver some other tests (bitternes salt, I hope you understand) and it was also ok.
And here I am with that question - what can it bee?, His skin burns him, itching , he have no alergy, there is nothing what you can see on the skin, it is comeing from inside, I don't know how else to describe you. I hope that maby you have heard that someone have the same problem or have been meet the same case. The doctor here said that they never heard for this kind of problem and they dont know the solution.
I truly would be thankful like no one in the world if you can gave mi some answer or advice.
Please help me.

iceg...
ok then. the problem is that I am little superstitious about that stuff, magic and wizard things. I dont know maby. I think that this is just medical problem but doctor just didnt discover what is causeing burnning skin. Everyone are saying that he should buy some anti - itching cream, but everytime I must say, it's not itching him it's burning from inside, I dont know how to describe you.... the closest example is when you burn your skin on fire. That is how he descriebed that. No wisible changeing on the skin. Yesterday was the worst. He wanted to day because it was burning him as hell. I was so sad. I have to go to may room and I am (25 years old) and didnt have courage to be there any longer. He is really suffering. I dont know how my mother can sustain that every day (morning, during the day and in the evening). Se also suffer with him and it is hard to be with him and dont know how to help him. So sad.

Hey Sanja
Again I am sorry for your situation. As I said earlier, I am never trying to make fun of it or laugh about it. It is very known that wizardry and dark magic exists indeed, and I know of several cases where patients complained about things the normal medics could not solve, and they eventually treated it suxesfully with the help of other extraordinary methods, like those found in relegious texts or through relegious rituals.

hi.
kinnd thanks for answer but I really don't think that anyone can understand how wird is this what is bodering my stepfather. He has no alergy. He has been tested for skin tests that are probably exist and what we can do here in Croatia and we are maby a small country but we have a great doctors. This alergy if I can call it that way isn't that you can see some changes on the skin it just comeing from inside. He described it like "fire in his blood" and start to bodering him 3 to 4 time a day from half to 1 our. In the morning, middle of the day and in the evening so he just can sleep at night. He has no visible alergy on the skin. It woud be maby good if he have that and maby then the doctor can see where does it apears but like this way it's starts on the hole body. Some opinion of the doctor were that he have "unspecifical contact dermatitis" so it can be who know's what. It's not hives, psoriasis and whatever what can be related with that. He have probably dry skin but also how you wrote that he can apply some anti-ich cream and other stuff he have done that already and there were no results. That starts to help him after half an our. He just canot be at the shower more than 5 minutes and it just starts again to burning him. I said few sentences before "unspecifical contact dermatitis" but the alergy tests for the skin didn't show any pozitive results. Also tests for the food, pills, water, and other things. And that is what we can't understand what is the problem. Liver and the other stuff that you wrote everything is ok. You see he went everywhere but the tests for everything is ok. Everithing that I and you wrote he have been tested for all of that. And that is the wirdest thing that nothing shows what causes that so I just try to wrote on this page. I try on Croatian pages but everybody wrote the same and I was hopeing that maby who will read this can help me or just know who have maby the same problem . The world and the people and the internet are the biggest comunications from all over the world betwen all of us and I just can hopeing that someone will read this and maby know the answer.
p.s. please do not wrote that this is some king of dark magic. I am not stupid. If someone have the problem dont make a REALY BIG FUN OF IT. My life isn't some kind of comedy or SF so you can laugh of it. Grow up if you want to talk seriously and maby... just maby can say something clever.
"kindd" thanks for everything.

Hello,
Itchy skin that isn't accompanied by other obvious skin changes, such as a rash, is most often caused by dry skin (xerosis). Dry skin usually results from hot or cold weather with low humidity levels, long-term use of air conditioning or central heating, and washing or bathing too much.
Other conditions cause itchy skin as well. Skin conditions like psoriasis,dermatitis and hives, internal diseases like liver and kidney disorders,diabetes, iron deficiency anemia, irritation and allergic reactions to chemicals,wool,soaps,cosmetics and certain foods can cause itchy skin.
Your father can apply an anti-itch cream or lotion to the affected area. Oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl can also be used.He should take a comfortably cool bath and wear smooth-textured cotton clothing. Covering the affected area with bandages and dressings can help protect the skin and prevent scratching.He should choose mild soaps without dyes or perfumes and use a mild, unscented laundry detergent when washing clothes, towels and bedding.
Pls take a second opinion from a dermatologist if the symptoms persist. He/She will start with the specific medications. If an internal disease is found, whether it's kidney disease, iron deficiency or a thyroid problem, treating that disease often relieves the itch.Lastly,Phototherapy can also be tried.
Hope it helps .Take care and pls do keep us posted in case you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
