Itchy skin, no visible signs

MsPiggi,

I am a 26 year old male experiencing the EXACT SAME THING as you, coupled with intestinal spasms (pinching, then releases every few minutes) and constipation. Have you discovered any diagnoses or remedies? I'm losing my mind!

I had the same thing! Itchy arm with no rash or bumps and it was especially bad at night. Burning sort of itch that came every few seconds.

COD LIVER OIL absolutely cured it! Take 2-3 capsules or a couple teaspoons of the liquid. My itching was relieved within hours and the whole thing cleared up in just days. It has never returned.

I have the itchy cheek bone thing with no other symptoms. It happens a few times almost every day. It is not bad enough to keep me awake or cause problems, but it is weird.

I had itchy legs for quite a few years. Itch areas were usually around ankles and shins and the problem was way worse at nights. My skin never showed any outward signs of irritation.
The itching was always more prevalent in the dry winter months. I tried a number of solutions, including 10% cortisone cream, but nothing really worked. I learned if I gave in and scratched the itchy areas, the area became inflamed and the problem was made worse. So I tolerated the itching because there was nothing else I could do.
Finally I tried CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion. I applied it every morning after showering and sometimes before going to bed. The results have been excellent! It has virtually ended the itching! And its the dry season!

I know this thread is incredibly old. But I was trying to seek answers because I have this very problem for a whole year now. All I can do is weaken the problem through creams and tablets but it will never go away. And certain days I feel normal but after the cream and then a few days after it comes back in. I do not have the money to constantly visit doctors when the same response is "I don't know, I'll prescribe you this and see if it works." After my last visits. The doctors narrow it down to Atopic dermatitis, and possibly I am having an allergic reaction. I've done the allergy tests and certain things I am allergic to, I stay clear away. I am not allergic to food. Yet I am still itchy. But it makes the most sense that it is an allergic reaction because other people experiencing the same thing I am now are also allergic to something. Stuff like scabies or eczema or bug bites. Those all have visible symptoms. My itches are invisible, only when I scratch will it turn pink. And slight dark patches when not scratching. When I scratch it does have this slight burning sensation. The weird thing is the itch always appear around the groin section. The crevice between the groin and leg and the anus (outer sphincter) and the inners of the crack. That's the most common places that always keep appearing. The only time I see symptoms of this itch is only on my elbow, and very tiny pink bumps will appear but randomly it will go away on it's own ( I think this might be something different). But my right armpit is always itchy too. And when I scratch it, it turns red and it looks a bit flaky on the area. Again, I think that's something else too but I am not really sure at this point. Another thing I have notice was the first 6 months I had this itch. I would have it on the knee and it will look like my elbow symptom. The last 6 months it never appeared again. So weird. Well, right now I am trying to find the answer for myself. Assuming time has past through a lot, I can only guess you guys have some sort of answers or improvements right? How is every bodies itch now?

imo, more often than not, itchy places ON your body are a direct result of something in you're putting IN your body = either food, drink, or some type of meds -

and most docs are clueless -

so you have tried eliminating or reducing high histamine foods in your diet ?

i have fair/sensitive skin, so both internal and external factors are a problem - i can't drive by a pasture full of sheep without itching

grains are a biggie for me, plus a lot of other things which i'm still trying to figure out - my diet is pretty basic and as long as i stay away from manufactured/multi ingredient stuff i do fine -

and for me, it's all about amounts - a little at a time, okie dokie - but if i eat too much of the offender, there's trouble -

hope you find continued relief and side effects are minimal -
