Happy new year all

Just wanted to know has anyone else had this since having fku like symptoms at christmas I itch alll over including eyelids etc.

I mentioned it to a dr who said your an allergic person it must be an allergy??!!?

I know when my back itches its a sign my asthma getting worse-Im on regular antihistamines and had addd in piriton but still i itch. I dont use washing powder ive been using eco ball for bout 4 yrs

Any ideas?

hiya

Yes yes yes! Ive had a maddening itch for about a week its been driving me mad i feel like ive got fleas which i do not!! Ive also got a bit of a pimply rash too so i just went to dr and got some antihistamines got them on tues and still itching my socks off! not sure what it is but your not alone ive had a bad throat and a heavy cold since christmas so maybe given yours was post flu like symptoms its a viral thing?! Maybe worth a visit to your friendly practice nurse or gp if it does continue tho. Sorry cant help more. From one itchy person to another good luck lv kat Xxx

My husband had a terrible itch all over, he was put on piriton one four times a day. It helped for a while but then he came out in a rash all over his body. He got referred to a skin specialist and was told he had dermatitis, and was put on betnovate cream (On prescripition only) and a moisurizer (sp) He said his skin was very dry and it was important to use a moistuirzer, and to add a note of interest the very cold weather aggravates skin conditions.

Hope this helps.
