Could Itchy Skin Be Due To Grape Seed Oil Allergy?
My skin itches in patches on my arms, thighs, and stomach. When itching little bumps occur and my skin gets red in that's area. I've scratched so hard on my thighs that I'm bruised. I've been using grapeseed oil as moisturizer lately. Could I be allergic?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If the moisturiser is new and your symptoms occurred only after you started using it then it is possible that it is the cause of your symptoms.
You can consider eliminating it to see if your symptoms improve. The short term use of a topical steroid and also an oral anti histamine would provide some relief.
These may be available over the counter.
I hope this helps
