Very itchy skin, what could it be?
You are allergic to something. For me it's food. Take an antihistamine and it will stop.





It could be due to the stress of having an upcoming biopsy.
Reply:ium sorry for that pls seek help from the docter
Reply:if u see a mole that is assymetrical, then the area of the mole is where the skin cancer is. not serious though.
Reply:I have something like that just take a nap and chill out
Reply:You may just need to take an antihistamine I have to for the same thing it really does help.
Reply:no it probably just is an acid efect when you feel ants or bugs croaling in your skin
Reply:Maybe it's just dry skin itch. no i wouldnt think it would be a cancerous mole so don't be afraid
Reply:No.





Sounds more like an allergy.





Buy an antihistamine (Benzidrine) It will stop the itching!
Reply:Put your mind at ease. Itchy skin is not skin that's cancerous. More likely it's skin that's really dry.





Neutrogena makes an anti-itch moisturizer that's pretty good.





You might also try an extra rinse cycle in the laundry, or switching from powdered detergent to liquid (which rinses out of clothes better), since residual detergent can start up the itch cycle.
Reply:usually not, it could be bed mites...vacumme your bed and wash the sheets in hot water...bet ya it stops..either that or you have eaten or come in contact with something your body does not like...drink lots of fresh water...it will help flush the system..hope it helps
Reply:maybe crabs!
Reply:Best not to be thinking about cancer too soon, it could be any number of things, dermatitis covers a whole range of itchy skin rashes. It could be an allergic reaction to something youve recently ingested, could be prickly heat thats causes the itchyness. I wouldnt get too worked up over it, explain to your doctor whats happening and they will be able to diagnose better for you. It could be a case of giving you some type of cream to help with the itching and keep it under control.





Dermatitis affects everyone at some point in their lives, if your skin has slightly raised flaky patches it could be an early sign of Excema or even Psoriasis but a skin specialist will be able to determine what it is.





Good luck withe biopsy.
Reply:i just went to the dermotologist for dry extremely itchy skin that i would itch until it was raw, i was told i have eczema. The more you scratch the more it itches. I got some steroid cream and after 1 week ta-da i don't itch anymore and my rashes are gone.
Reply:could be stress, if you are worried about your upcoming biopsy. stress does all kinds of goofy things to our bodies. take an antihistamine and try to relax. Also, as we age, we may become allergic to new things, or old allergies may be reduced or go away. if the antihistamine doesn't help, contact your doc.
Reply:It might be a form of eczema....i suffer from itchy legs and arms....even though their is no visual rash. mention it to your gp on your next visit...glad to hear your getting the mole checked out hun.... good luck mwah xx


ps. hope this helps in some way
Reply:You may have an allergy towards MSG (monosodium Glutomate) which is a flavour enhancer found in many foods, expecially sweet %26amp; sour. I have this and have to read all the ingredients in everything i eat carefully. This just began about 3 years ago all of a sudden.
Reply:try calamailotion!


it soothes the itchiness %26amp; cools you skin


but do show it to your dr
Reply:Eczema....thats some of the symptoms my kids had....
Reply:certainly not! Skin neoplasmas (melanoma is not a cancer technicaly) don't hurt. (Metaplasmas can - tumours in other organs).





You can have very dry skin which is oversensitive to heat. Or some food allergy that you are not aware (yet).
Reply:you could actually have internal disease but im not saying if it is, but try getting some cream like Nivea, that can calm your skin down a bit and it might stop the itchyness, if not go to see your local doctor and he might be able to tell you. hope i helped you!!!
Reply:Could it be scabies??


(dont think i'm judging you, but it sounds familar)

Reply:could be something just simple change of weather. can cause dryness.
Reply:It is probably a stress itch. seeing that you are going in for investigation on a mole, the stress and worry you are experiencing would be causing you to itch. I start scratching when i am nervous or worried and an aunt of mine used to come out in a stress/tension rash.
