I'm going to scratch my skin off

I'm here in tears ladies. What started out as itchy palms a few months ago has spread everywhere and I can't take it. I had blood work done to check for chloestasis and last week I was relieved to find my blood work came back good. I was so relieved I forgot to press the itch issue with my doctor. It's been so bad this weekend. I try baths, lotions, pine tar soap, air conditioning, tons of water. I'm crawling out of my skin and I can't take it!!! I'm calling on Monday for sure to press this issue. Luckily my nails are cut really short so I'm not breaking open too much skin but I can't deal with life at the moment. :(

  • Have you tried Benadryl?

  • That sounds awful!! I have no advice just wanted to say I'm sorry your going through that and I hope the dr can give you some answers.
  • Right there with you! I sleep in one to two hour stretches cause I'm up scratching all night. Fortunately after three weeks it's starting to get a littttle bit better. Maybe yours will ease up a bit too?
  • Oh man I am with you on this! I have been itching like crazy the last couple days and it is seriously driving me insane. I have no idea how you've made it weeks -- it's torture!
  • Boob sweat has made me very itchy. I can't find anything to make it better. If I could get away with not wearing a bra I would be a much happier person.
  • I have used Vaseline cocoa butter oil gel with all my 3 of my pregnancies and it is way better than even eucerin. If it's to oily for you I mix it with the eucerin when I'm dry but not SUPER dry. My dr also recommended trying Benadryl I hope you can find some relief soon!
