What Causes Persistent Body Itching?
Body itch most of the time. i have been fighting this for about 5 years, when we come back from vacation i thought it was bedbugs or scabies and have pest control to come out and check they did not see any signs. i also felt something like a thousand little things swimming when i had sexual relation with my husband and ive been to the doctor they dont see anything either.
