What Could Be The Reason For Itching All Over Body Except Limbs And Face?

For several months now I have developed terrible itchy skin all over my body except for my hands, feet, & face. No rash but am now breaking my skin because of itching. The itching is worst at night but am now experiencing it during day time. Hope you can help. Thank you Jocelyn Carlton

Hello dear,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have read your query and understood your concern.

It seems that you are suffering from a condition called scabies.

For this, you may take permethrin 5 percent lotion to be applied over whole body except face once overnight application.

Apply topical crotorax hc cream twice daily over itchy part.
for itch, you can take tab le/ fexofenadine in night time.

Good luck.
