Question 1

red itchy rash under breast and groin area it looks like sun burn with bumps. i'm itchy all over but no rash other then those areas. what can this be?

Accepted Answer

Yeast infection?: If you are overweight, the areas under the breasts, the love handle, and the groin are more susceptible to candida infection. If this applies to you, try to keep these areas dry by using antiperspirant .  In the meanwhile try some anti-fungal cream on the areas for a few days.  If still not improved after a week, see you doctor. For overweight people, losing some weight should be a long-term goal.

Question 2

i've recently started getting really itchy all over my body but the worse spot is my stomach, back and my thighs. there are no noticable bumps or rashes but when i do end up itching them i get some pretty extreme welts. what could possibly be causing this

Accepted Answer

Urticaria/Hives: It sounds likely you have some trouble with hives (medically called urticaria) and the hunt for a specific cause is often illusive. They are often intermittent and when they occur, can be quite itchy and distressing to the affected. Make sure you keep cool, moturize skin, and take some otc zyrtec or Benadryl (diphenhydramine) regularly for a couple of weeks. If not better, consult your doc. Good luck.

Question 3

im itchy all over.  not much to see othr than the odd hive & a rash that flares up in the inside of the elbow.  dont know if its an allergy to food??

Accepted Answer

Eczema: The involvement at the crease of the elbows (&amp; knees) points to eczema which is an allergic condition. Aside from food allergens, airborne allergens can trigger the problem as well. If this is the case, regular use of moisturizer immediately after bathing is a must. Topical cortisone is often needed. See allergist if problem persists or worsens.

Question 4

my 5year olds skin is itchy all over with no visible rash or dryness. bloodwork (full panel and allergy) came back perfect. the itching wakes her up.

Accepted Answer

Itching: Dry skin can cause itching, try a miosturizer such as cetaphil restroaderm or vanicream products (with minimal additives and no fragrances). Be sure the lab work included a cbc, chem 14, and TSH (thyroid screen). Change detergent to all-free and avoid fragranced fabric softeners and bath soaps. See a dermatologist if all else fails.

Question 5

i think i've had a reaction to something. i am itchy all over, even eyes, no rash, can't stop scratching. it is completely distracting & i'm drawing blood. how can i ease this? cant see any doctors

Accepted Answer

Itching: You may be having allergies, but may be not. Allergies usually present with some skin lesions, even hives still present with a short lived break out. Anyway, the easiest to try would be Benadryl (diphenhydramine) over-the-counter, 12.5 to 25 mg at a time, 3-4 times/day. If that doesn't help, you will need to see a doc.

Question 6

i feel itchy all over, leg, arm, eye. i ich my eye and gets worse. stuffed up and sneezy. roof of my mouth is warm, throat itchy, chest tight;cold?

Accepted Answer

Allergy: This sounds miserable!   If it came on abruptly within minutes I worry about an allergic reaction.  Take an antihistamine right away and/or go to ER if it's progressing.  Otherwise  it could be a allergies.  Itching all over is not usually part of a cold.
