Hi all, I had intense itching, skin rashes, tried various products (now using Dermol 500 as a wash & simple deoderant) ended up under Immunology as my meno symptoms were not picked up on & 'specialists' thought I had some rare cancer or other rare disorder, ended up having numerous investigations, trials of high dose antihstaime (was even setting my alarm at 2am to take a dose, although unnecessary as was always awake then ayway!!), was on a low histamine diet for a while, various supplements to try &  help & low and behold 3 yrs later diagnosed as peri (if only I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have ended up down that road & miserable years of symptoms). Since starting HRT earlier this year I have had no skin rashes, itches. Started taking prescribed antihistamine (Fexofenadine 180mg) once a day, nasal spray & eye drops since late spring for hay fever but my symptoms are controlled with that, for the last few days I haven't needed the nasal spray.

Hi all

I have had that crawly,itchy skin for  a few days now.  I am on HRT, so I don't know whether its hormonal or not.  I did have  liver and kidney function test about 5 months ago,so hoping its nothing to be too worried about.

The itchy skin is only on my back, it drives me mad, sometimes feels as though something is crawling on my skin  I take antihistamines and keep trying different creams at the moment its E45..x

Hi Rosebush

Is it just a certain place on your back?

I get an itch on my back, always in the same place. It's not where my bra sits, and I've asked a couple of people , and they both said they can't see anything there. I've had it a long time now.

Thanks

Thanks for this Bobidy

I do wonder if some of what I am feeling is linked to seasonal allergies and therefore increased histomene.  Coincidentally, I had Avacado on Saturday and Sunday.
My skin feels like its "sensitised", so for instance, my hair touching my forehead feels really tickly/itchy.

I can remember in years gone by, that in the hay fever season, water pn my face in the pool, mad my face tickle and itch a lot

Jeepers the itch is all over upper back but like you not were my bra sits, I ask my hubby to check for hair or anything else, and nothing there just the blooming itch, however its worse at night  I am still using E45 itch cream with odd night of using Diprobase, both help..x

I get an itchy back, and have just bought a back scratcher from Wowcher, as fed up of trying to reach

Why does an itch occur  .  Is it a defence mechanism against creepy crawlies, I had one on my nose in the early hours and it was cold out from under the covers but I HAD to scratch it
