    I suggest that you discuss this with your dr to make sure that you know what you are treating.

    Are you taking any medication of any kind ? Some creams can be contraindicated if you r suffering from certain conditions, is your temperature normal? You really need to ring your dr .

      Hi honey, I'm gonna cut to the chase. Its the antibiotics that is causing your Itchen. I know you are probably thinking they should be working but if I just explain. 3 years ago I had pancreatitis but when I saw the doctor, he wasn't sure what was wrong thus, prescribed antibiotics. I started Itching all over. I feel horrible doesn't it? Anyway, just like you, I couldn't understand why I was itching but it only started when I started taking antibiotics. I'm sure that's what it is honey. Don't suffer, go back and see if you can change your antibiotics. Good luck. Donna xxx

    Yes!! I go through periods where I just itch constantly, not bad but just all day here and there I'm itching my arms and neck and legs. Sometimes on my neck I even get a bit of hives after itching.

    I definitely think it is anxiety related. I worried at first bc I'm a hypochondriac lol but then I started getting chest pains from my anxiety (which I've also had before) and I realized when those came and I was focused on that instead, the itching totally went away. It's so annoying -_-

    Yes but mine turned out to be shingles, a week after the persisting itching I got a rash. See your doctor just incase and stop looking up things. Literally every symptom taken out of context says you're dying.
