    Itchy!!
    Lately I have been so itchy! It is mainly on my stomach, chest, back, and sides but it is really annoying I don't know if it is just the dry cold weather or what but I need some suggestions on how to make it stop! I do have exema but it mainly is on my hands...

    Maybe by mistake u must have touched the hand on the other part, due to which eczima must have spread. Do consult a skin specialist ASAP.

    There are many cause of dry, itchy skin, such as the cold weather, symptom of diseases or skin conditions. Moisturizers will help treat dry, itchy skin. So apply a moisturizer at least 3 times a day. If the moisturizer doesn't help, go see a your dermatologist. Your dermatologist may prescribe a treatment that may help soothe and treat your skin.

    I have 3 different types of exema and it doesn't do that too me. Maybe your allergic to something or have you changed laundry soap, body soap or perfume? Or gotten any new clothes with a material you don't normaly wear? There are such things as body lice, and that's where the itchyness starts and is the worst, if you go to the doctors they will try telling you its an allergic reaction to food. If in a few weeks you starts getting little pimples or rashes, very small but itchy. Go to the pharmacy and talk to the pharmacist about it.

    Please do not discourage members from seeing a doctor. If the itch is due to a skin disease such as eczema or psoriasis, needeep should see a dermatologist.

    I have the same itchy skin started on my back and has spread to my stomach. Someone told me it could be scabbies but scabbies attacks your genitals which it hasn't as of yet.
    I was using oxy clean in my laundry and starting to wonder if this is the cause. I did wash with some oatmeal in an old nylon stocking and it seemed to relieve it some. I just sprayed with some tenactin which is used for athletes foot and going to see if that helps let you know the out come.
