Itching Near Ears, Hips, Pelvic Area. Difficulty Sleeping. Reason?

Yes thanks. Yesterday after lunch I started itching around ears torso hips pelvic areas and got progressively worse as time went on. By the time I went to bed it was worse and spreading. Didn't sleep much. All day today feels like fire ants and poison ivy.

I ate at a pizza place for lunch yesterday and feel it might have to do with food additives

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Most likely allergy
The source may not be certain - food air or contact...

Try any Over The Counter(OTC) Anti-histamine tablet...
They also often cause sleep or drowsiness - as side effect!

If it is progressing or if you get change of voice or breathing problem - you should go ER.
You may need steroids...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
