Question 2

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 3

my brother has suffered from very severe itching all over his body for about 8 years now. he itches right after bathing or when he sweats. ?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: There are various possible causes. You need a dr with special knowledge to get it right.

Question 4

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 5

is it normal to be itching after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Pain meds?: Are you taking pain meds after the surgery? If so, some can cause the itching, .

Question 6

i had a op to remove testicle due to torsion and then infection as the testicle died im very worried about sepsis i don't feel ill however im itchy all over and have cloudy/smelly urine i just finished 7 days antibiotics course after surgery aswell?

Accepted Answer

: If there's an associated rash with the generalized itching it would almost be certain that you've developed an allergic reaction to medication, most commonly the antibiotic. If so, be sure to find out what the antibiotic is so you'll not take it again &amp; it also goes on your record. A rash may not appear with an allergic reaction though. Notify your MD about your symptoms &amp; get instructions.

Question 7

i took unprescribed lamotrigine 150 mg for 3 days and 75 mg on day 4. i am aware of the life threating rash . now i am itching all over. after researc?

Accepted Answer

Should be okay: Just itching is not the sign of the rash you are concerned about. The signs include visible changes in your skin. Also, this severe rash occurs after taking the medication for longer than you have. Most importantly: please do not take prescribed medications! this is very dangerous but you don't sound to have anything serious this time. Try a moisturizer to help with the itching.

Question 8

why am i itching all over?

Accepted Answer

Itch: You don't really give us much to go with here. If the itch just started, maybe it is a reaction to something. If it is for more than 2-3 days, get checked out by a doctor.

Question 9

itching all over due to no cause?

Accepted Answer

Itching: After your doctor has ruled out medical conditions as about having your B12 level checked.  If you need B12 please use the sublingual (under the tongue) form.  Low B12 can manifest in itching.  Peace and good health.

Question 10

generalise itching all over the body ?

Accepted Answer

Many possible  cause: You need to ask your  physician: It can be allergy, a skin probem, a tumor or a liver problem to name a few. You will need to be evaluated to help answer  your question. We call this pruritis.
