Severe generalised itch like creepy crawling sensations! comes & goes for sometimes weeks at a time. usually starts off later in the day? thanks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pruritis: Generalized itching of skin without a rash can occur with excessive dryness of the skin but may be seen in conditions like allergies, liver or kidney disease, hyperthyroidism or diabetes. Your physician or dermatologist can order the appropriate tests if significant itching persists. Antihistamine medications can relieve pruritis.

Approximatey 3 weeks ago I was stung on the inside of my elbow (in the bend) by what appeared to be a sweat bee. I immediately applied alcohol to the sting. It has itched in that area every day since the sting and I apply alcohol each time it itches. Yesterday a cluster of 12-15 small bumps appeared in the area of the sting. I am looking for advice on how to treat the area as it itches also. Thank you. Rash possibly related to sweat bee sting?
