What Causes Severe Itching All Over The Body?
My skin is itching ... severely. First in one area, then it will slow (after lots of scratching) ... and then subside. Later, it will start some where else. It is horrible and I will scratch. On my feet, I used ice cubes to slow it down. It is still itching but not as severely. Earlier it was my arms. My daughter thinks it might be the change in my thyroid pill (moved from 125 to 137 recently. I am having lung problems and am on oxygen. Perhaps that could be the source? Any help will be greatly appreciated.f I can handle cancer and pneumonia ..... but not this itching! It is pure torture! I had not realized this was a billing thing. I won t give my card over the internet at all. I will just go to Holzer in the morning! I apologize for taking your time.

Severe itching all over the body is mostly suggestive of scabies infection. For treatment you can apply Scaboma or Calamine lotion for local application with an expert opinion all over the body except facial region after taking bath with hot or warm water along with Avil or Cetrizine for itching. You can take bandy-plus one stat and then after 7 days. Don't think so much, just take care of your self and you will be fine soon. Thank You
