My skin is very itchy...someone help me!?!


Question: My skin is very itchy...someone help me!.?
For a few weeks now my skin has been very itchy. I've been getting these little bumps everywhere on my body. My dog had fleas for a little while and i'm guessing that could have been part of it.. but he doesn't anymore and I'm still itchy.. Esp when i take a shower they get really itchy. I also think it could be a reaction towards a soap i've been using, but I stopped using the soap two weeks ago. I'm not a dirty person. I take a shower at least twice a day...and once im out of the shower i put lotion on so that my skin isn't dry. I do my laundry once a week, clean my room (vacuum, dust..etc.). I have recently washed my covers and sheets. I'm going crazy. They are just little bumps that bleed after scratching so much thenen they go away..then I'll itch more.. IDK!! someone help me..lolHealth Question & Answer


Answers:
If you are using a new soap..stop and switch back! Lot's of people are complaining of dry skin right now with the cooler temps. You may want to take cooler (not hot, hot) showers and moisturize with your skin still damp. You may want to try Gold Bond healing lotion until you heal up. It works great on little irritaions. You could also try aveeno oatmeal baths, but I think the above things will help enough.

Good luck!Health Question & Answer

Well, first I'm guessing you may want to switch some things up a bit. Try some products for sensitive skin, including your soap, lotion and laundry detergent. If this doesn't help, you'll want to check with a doctor or dermatologist, as you may have eczema or something else that might require a stronger treatment. Good luck!

Edit: You could also try some aloe vera to soothe, take care!Health Question & Answer

Take a anti-histamine. You can buy at stores. Generic form or just get benadryl. You are having an allergic rx. This will take care of the itching. You can also get benadryl ointment or hydrocortison(cheaper version). Use baby body wash and baby lotion for awhile and see if that helps. If so. it was your soap or lotion. Hope this helps.Health Question & Answer

If its going on like that, you should go to a doctor, not Yahoo! Answers
But see if its because of the fact that you use the lotion after the shower, see if any ingredients from the body soap/ wash and the ingredients in the lotion may react to each other causing effects.Health Question & Answer
