Upper Back Itching.

Posted , 4 users are following.

Unsure which topic this is, and unsure if this is the correct place. Sorry.

Hey, I've been having an itchy back for around 3 weeks now. The area seems to be across the top of my back. I don't want to go to the doctors yet, I want to see if it'll stop within 6 weeks. I've tried to look on Google for some ideas, but none of the exact symptoms.

It's more like 50 pins stabbing into my back at once and it does it more when it's exposed to air, but also still does it when I'm wearing clothes (Top & jumper) (Sorry for the bad grammar)

Any ideas what this could be? there's no rash, it's my normal skin? but like very itchy at times. It isn't all the time, I'm happy of, but it's daily.

I did also recently got injections on the 2nd of January. I had Key Hole surgery on the 14th. They might not be related to that, but some extra information.

    Hi simple method of deciding what it could be, have you changed wash powder, have you used hair removal cream, shaved back, new clothes, body wash, soap, sleeping on your back, drinking more alcohol, scratching more as this can create an itch scratch symptom.

    Where was key hole surgery, is it close or infected

    There are some good anti-itch creams available at your pharmacy without a prescription. Ask your pharmacist which is best for your condition.
