Itching Skin After Feeling Sick. Anything To Worry?
for the past year, When I am sick, immediately after, and for about 15 mins to an hour afterwards, every part of my skin itches. I'm 27, 5'2", 140lbs and recovered from bulimia 2 years ago. I haven't purged regularly for two years, and the last time I purged was 18 months ago. I have been sick six times in the past year- twice through illness and four times through overindulgence of alcohol. However this has made no difference- still itching.
Is this something to be worried about?
