What Causes Persistent Itching On The Abdomen?

Over 2-3 days, I have noticed a persistent itchiness on the skin around my belly. I see no signs of bug bites, nor plant allergies. There is no particular redness until I scratch it. I have tried moisturizing lotion and some herbal collodial oatmeal cream, which don t reduce the itchiness. Otherwise, I feel great. tom
