I have a random itchy rash/reaction to something and can't work out what it could be... please help!

Posted , 3 users are following.

About 18months ago I was lying on my couch when out of nowhere I started itching around my neck and ear area... it started off like little bugs crawling on my skin and would continue to irritate me for weeks to come to the point where I noticed my skin changing from all the scratching so I made a conscious effort to stop the scratching.

Fast forward 18 months and the problem is still there but nowhere near as severe... the trigger/main area is still around my neck and ears but it's just a mild itch that comes and goes. The strange thing is that recen tly I have connected the itch to other areas of my body (so it's not isolated to the neck or ears) and when I feel the itch I also get a little dimple from on the skin - similar to a mosquito bite. These little dimples can come up anywhere on the body at any time.

Does anyone know what this could be or who would be best to contact? I have spent hundreds of dollars on dermatologists, naturopaths, bicom therapists, kinesiologists but every time I go to someone they tell me it's 'this' or 'that' but they never nail it and certainly noone has come close to curing it 😦 I would love your advice/recommendations as I'm at my whits end to be honest 😦
