Multiple causes: Allergic reaction to ? medication,new food,cosmetics etc Do detective work to find out if you can pin point any one of the above causes to the start of itching. Liver disease also can cause this. Need to see your doctor to sort out the causes & do the necessary lab work. In the meantime take benadry 25-50 mg three times daily IF you need it.Avoid alcohol,take Vitamin C 2000 mg daily.
