Whole Body Itch

Question

Whole Body Itch

Asked for Female, 23 Years

For about over a year, mostly during winter, my whole body will itch, including my head. I would also get the crawling sensation. There no bumps, flakes, and my skin doesn't get too red. A year ago, I started not using a loofah anymore. I've tried changing and washing bedding. I'm leaving on sunday for a trip outside the states. Is there anything I can get or do before I leave?

You might be suffering from xerosis. This is a condition which results from dryness of skin. Please use a very good moisturiser/ emollient. I don't think I can take brand names here. But you can contact me if you need any further details regarding that. There is a specific way of using moisturisers. Apply them on slightly moist skin immediately after bath and apply it again at bedtime. Use lukewarm water for bath. All this is assuming you have no other medical issues like thyroid/ diabetes. if you do,the line of management changes.
