What Causes Pain And Itching Sensation All Over The Body?

I have painful itching all over my body that feels like needles coming through each pore. The pain comes when my skin wants to sweat, and generally only in winter. The only thing that calms it down is to cool my skin with water. Lotions only provide mild relief. The cause seems to be sub-dermal. My two questions are: 1. Is there a reliable diagnosis for this condition, and 2. Is there a non-topical medication available for use (I ve tried topical solutions to no avail).

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to allergy to heat or intolerance to heat. In hyperthyroidism also this can occur. So better to run thyroid profile tests also. In case of hyperthyroidism medicinal therapy according to the condition will be helpful. But if that is clear then it can be due to allergy and in such case oral antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers will be helpful. Drink more water and make yourself hydrated. Use some moisturizers for your skin also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
