Intense itchy skin

[Lilianxious]

For about 2 months I have suddenly started to have the most intense itchy skin all over my body, from my feet all the way up to my scalp. ( no rash)

I have to take antihistamines every 3 days. It seems to be a pattern, I take the antihestamine and it works wonders, then 3 days later itis back!

I haven't changed washing powder and my diet is the same !

I made a doctors appointment which got cancelled. It's been difficult to get to see a doctor due to covid.

Can someone help me!!! I'm going insane !

I have psoriasis and I am itchy 24/7 I'm glad the antihistamines work for you as mine don't. I use a cream called eurax which does work for me. One note about the antihistamines though, my nurse told me they are only really effective if you keep taking them, the minute you stops the condition 'blooms' again and you are back to square one. This is just what I was told and your situation may be different though. Gl 😊

Ah that is so very true, I've had to take it every 3 days as it seems to only work for 3 days and then I'm back to square one. The itchyness is so intense I can't not have it. Achieving an appointment with the Gp is incredibly hard right now.

Thank you for replying x

Hi looking at your previous posts having a baby etc I think your skin problems could be due to low progestetone you could supplement with natural progesterone cream you can buy it online / ebay uk make sure it has progesterone usp in the ingrediants

Hi, I'm not entirely sure that's the case. I have an 8 year old and a 19 month old. My periods are also super regular and heavy. But this is something worth mentioning to my doctor if I can finally get an appointment.

I just want this itchying to leave x
