Itchy skin: 31 yo female with itchy body. Itchy skin can be from multiple different causes. Is there a rash associated with it? If it occurs primarily at night, it could be related to something in your bed - bed bugs? scabies? allergy to feathers/dust mite/etc.? An over the counter antihistamine (loratadine, cetirizine, fexofenadine) may help with the itching. Please see a PCP, allergist or dermatologist
