Oh I have itchy skin all over.....it drives me nuts.   Some nights I soak in oatmeal baths and immediately after I get out and moisturize....with anything and everything....I've tried a lot of stuff.   I have lotion bottles upstairs and downstairs and I keep moisturizing.

I always liked that Palmer's cocoa butter lotion - relieved my itching really well. Also, even though it ***** to pee a lot, drink a lot of water. Your skin itches because it needs hydration both inside and out, and it's probably stretching.

I believe an antihystamine that's systemic that 's okay is Claritin or Benadryl.  For topical use, try hydrocortisone cream.  I'm sorry you're miserable - ugh. - jen
