How itchy are you?

[Merritt]

I'm generally quite an itchy gentleman. I get these weird full body itches, where it's like there's an insect on my skin and it's teleporting to random parts of my body, doing a wee bit of creepy crawling at each stop. It made me worry for a while that I was such a mucky lad that I'd somehow got fleas, but I think I just have what's medically known as Crap Skin.

Anxiety makes me itchy too, weirdly in my armpits, if I'm particularly stressed.

Worrabout you? (Sorry if this thread's now made you aware that you're itchy)

I've had itchy toes all eve.
My feet are often itchy - between my toes, top of my foot, sole of my foot (which drives me nuts). I sometimes scratch till I bleed when it comes to my feet.

Also when it's hot my groin I'm usually fine till I take my clothes off/am in bed then it starts.

Pretty fecking itchy thanks to eczema, I do worry people will think I've got something contagious, especially when it's flaring up somewhere visible.

I sometimes get something awful called 'prickly-heat'
Your whole body just itches something terrible, and scratching isn't the answer,
It just itches no matter what, it seems like it's little hot needles under the skin
Thankfully it's usually pretty short term.

I get that too! A sudden burst of anxiety always makes my armpits itch.

I've had this before, it's horrible!

I am generally quite itchy, but I get eczema so I think that's why.

You might have sensitive skin Merritt, do you use fragrance free washing liquid etc?

Me too. I am extremely itchy pretty much everywhere and have red patches of angry looking skin all over the place. I scratch till I bleed.

I honestly never knew so many other people put up with being itchy! I thought it was just me.

I've switched around soaps and unscented washing liquids, so I don't think that's the cause. It might very well be a food intolerance, or just a bit of poor nutrition. I don't hoover or dust nearly often enough either, so I'm probably constantly breathing in aggravating muck
