:confused: My boyfriend has been itching himself silly for two years now. He is 58 this started on his leg and has progressed to all over and just keeps moving. He has been to several allergist and dermotolegist with no results. It is getting worse and creams and have tried everything from Zyrtec to claritin. Kidneys have been tested. Also treated for scabies still no anwer........... The only thing that gets him through the night is a bath of epson salts. Does any one have any ideas???? Please help if you can.........

does it achually itch or doe it feel more like he is being bit by bugs under te skin if it dioes it could be restless leg syndrome

kikilacrot, i had much the same, i used a non wwater based skin cream, vasilene intensive care. if it does not help, there are various seroid creams and lamasil tableys as it may be a fungus. i've used ketocanazole, nizoral and clotrimazole, each with varying success! these are all perscription medications so get with your health care provider

I had terrible itchy feet for years. I starting taking a vitamin A and vitamin D supplement and it went away. Very strange but true. When I discontinue the itch returns. Be aware that taking too much Vit A&D can be dangerous. Do not over do it.

Itching may very well be something as simple as a fatty acid deficiency. Cod liver oil works wonders for me. Soft moist skin and nice shiny hair! Type 1 26 years. Omega 3 fats are often used to treat many skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis. Unfortunately a lot of people rely on medications and this doesn't actually treat the problem. You may want to research benefits of omega 3 fats online. It will probably take about 1-2 weeks to notice a difference. Good luck. :)
