every night and during hot shower and after shower i feel very itchy all over,but not in my armpits,but there uncontrollable itchiness but goes away in few minutes,what could it be pls help.
I moved into a new apt. 3 months ago. I didn't notice anything until my second month. I started itching so bad that I couldn't sleep in my bed. So I started thinking the last tenants must of had an animals with fleas. I started spraying with Orthro Home Defence Max & bombing every two weeks. I started sleeping on my couch & what ever it is, I cann't sleep on my couch or sit & watch TV. I contacted the apt manager & nothing is being done. I also ask my adjusting apt tenant to see if he is having the same problem. He said yes & the apt was told & they sprayed but it didn't help. This is a nightmare for me, I'm a clean freak & have not had any relationship for years. Could the apt have something in it or what can I do to find out how to stop what's going on?
thanks a lot i got too much reliefe from scabies.i purchased a lotion from pharmacy of scabies.it cures better.now i sleep very well at night.thanks for suggestion.

Hello,
Since the itching is more at night,then scabies can be a possibility. It is an infestation of the skin with the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. It is characterized by intense itching, usually at night and by small insect-type bites lesions on the skin. Diagnosis of scabies is made by scraping the skin and viewing the material under a microscope to see the characteristic mite or eggs.
I feel that you should get it evaluated from a dermatologist and get the diagnosis confirmed.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
If you are staying with a friend check whether the person also has the same.Scabies typically locates these areas,and permethin application as prescribed your doc should help you to recover.
