A member asked:

I have been having itchy skin on the back of my neck and stomach. what could be the causes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Allergy?: Could be an allergy to something you applied to those areas of skin, or to something you ate or inhaled, or to a medication, or to a new detergent or fabric softener. Many times the cause is difficult to find. Try a long-acting antihistamine like allegra; if that doesn't work, let your doctor or a dermatologist examine you.
