I get the fire ant skin after showering and generally every time I get an itch. I try not to scratch because when I do, it spreads very quickly. I get it on my arms, chest, and back. I have awakened to find blood blisters on my arms where I've scratched. I have used different creams, even lidocaine. Nothing works!!! For those that have Restless legs, my doc prescribed Ropinirole. It works wonders!!!

Wow. I've had this sensation before. But, not in a very long time. I think this went away when i started Armor thyroid and got my Vit D straightened out. Look into what vitamins may be low for you.
