Question 3

my 5 year old son wakes up itching all over his body ans whereever he itches, skin becomes red there. happening since last 2 mornings?

Accepted Answer

Itch begets itch: Your 5 year old son has sensitive skin and might be dry. There is a term called dermatographism when you turn red in the areas that you scratch.  This redness looks like hives.  There is no known cause, but sometimes heat makes it worse and antihistamines help. Cool refrigerated moisturizers always help too.

Question 5

itching all over the body. no rash nothing at all. it just itches a lot all over. i put baby oil after i bath still its not okay!! :(?

Accepted Answer

See dermatologist: If the itching is so bothersome, you should consult a dermatologist since dry skin is apparently not the issue. The itch pathway is far more complex than we had thought and no longer just a matter of histaminic action.  (I assume you have tried antihistamine already. If not, you may give it a try).

Question 6

Anxiety: Can cause multiple strange unrelated symptoms, itching when hungry or sleepy might be related, both induce parasympathetic / sympathetic stimulation to a certain degree, with the resultant symptom mix, complex physiology and pathophysiology (mechanism of disease).

Accepted Answer

Cold air=dryness : Itching is often due to dryness . The skin loses some of its protective barrier and causes you to scratch. Use mild soaps or cleansers..Use frequent creams or ointments (preferably with no fragrance ) & after bathing. You should be successful controlling this problem.You could take Claritin (loratadine) or allegra(chk labels)   if no better after 1-2weeks, see your dr.
