Itchy without a rash?

Starting this weekend, I have really noticed an increase in my itchiness. It is mainly in my torso, with some arm, chest, and neck itchiness as well. I don't have a rash and I realize that a lot of my itchiness is probably just skin stretching. Anyone else feeling itchier these days? What works for you to keep it under control? I am off to take an oatmeal bath I think :)

Re: Itchy without a rash?

  • I've been so itchy, but its really just my feet and they are so bad they feel like they're burning. My dr said it's normal because my feet have been swollen since June and it's my skin stretching. I can't really do anything about it, I haven't found anything that has helped except to stay out of stressful situations and off of them.

  • Yes, mine is mostly in my legs, thighs all the way to my feet. I also think its from the swelling. I put on alot of lotion and showers feel so good.

  • My friend was just telling me she had this increadible itchy rash that you couldn't see and it lasted until she delivered. But very soon after teh baby was here the itching was gone. I'm not sure if what you are expreiencing is the same thing but I would mention it to your doctor. Best of luck!

  • This is so funny to read this stuff, because I just started getting very itchy legs the past two nights.  Even though I slathered myself in oil after my shower, and lotion before I got into bed, I couldn't stop itching!!  I finally had to take a Benadryl in order to fall asleep.
