Brief Answer:
For how long has this been going on?

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these itches that you have reported. For how long has this been going on? Have you tried Benadryl and other steroids as anti itch agents? Have you changed any night wears recently? Have you tried calamine lotion? Are there any changes in your medications recently?

Please, kindly respond to these questions and I will then way in on possible causes and ways to address this. Until then, I wish you well.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
