58 year old what would cause back, thigh, arms skin to feel prickly/itchy several weeks.feels like you have on wool or been in insulation. have history of intermittent chronic hives since age 30. no hives with this. taking claritin but not helping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At age 58 it is essential that every day, especially after bathing, that a quality moisturizing cream , not lotion, be applied all over and rubbed in well . Get help to apply to back. Claritin would help hives but not this type of itch. If itchy when sleeping , take a Benadryl before going to bed. All the best.
