Life has been miserable for about 6 months with insanely itchy skin.
I have had blood tests done 3 times now, the first 2 showed increased markers for allergic reaction and inflammation for the 3rd I was asked to fast all the markers looked better but ironically my skin feels much worse... it has mostly been contained to my upper legs/bum and feet but recently it is around my stomach, my arms and my back.
There has been nothing changed in my day to day life, I have no know allergies other than hay-fever, and where I am itchy there hasn't been any rash etc howver now I am getting these random red bumps that are insanely itchy yet they come and go so quickly.
I have been given several steroid creams, stronger anti histamines, and this menthol cream - none of them help, I feel so uncomfortable in my own skin and feel like the drs aren't taking me seriously. Im being woken up with itchiness at times I have broken skin in my sleep and my sheets are then covered in blood, I feel like I dont want to go out as all I want to do is claw my skin.
I'm at a loss on what to do, try or ask about as they have said to me they wont really do an allergy test unless its causing an anaphylaxis reaction (like so unless I could die ive just to suffer?)
Any tips on how to deal with unexplained intense itchy skin?
Sorry for the ramble.
