Hi, I ve had an itchy right hip on a daily basis for a few months, which has also begun to occur simultaneously on my left hip now, and on my ribs, just below the armpits. I also have extremely itchy shin bones, where I can feel tiny little bumps below the skin. My shin bones itch mainly in the evening after I ve undressed for bed, whereas the itchiness on the hips occurs randomly at any time of the day. The itchiness in all these areas is so extreme, that I am compelled to scratch quite virulently. As a result, bruising can now be visible on my hips and sometimes on my shins. I am a 54 year old female, 5 6 tall, 115lb, in perfect health, physically very fit with lean, sinewy muscles. Please help.
