    Hi helend

    So glad you enjoyed your day out, its always the same though isn't it , when we come home we suffer. (but its worth it just to have a good time for a change)

    I sometimes itch too and have a few scratch marks on my arm, my forhead itches sometimes too I just thought it might be that i am too warm or my skin is a bit dry (although it doesn't feel or look it). I will be interested to read your thread to find out what others say.

    Hope you ar feeling ok today

    Itchiness and its causes - how long is a piece of string? - ie you have asked a question that is very hard to answer! It could be dry skin, it could be a reaction to something in the air or something on your skin, it could be caused by medication, it could be anything. Try moisturising from head to toe with something unperfumed or as neutral one can get, aqueous cream is a good bet, if that doesn't help it then contact your doctor - it could be a meds reaction. I wish you well. DD

    Glad you had a great day out. Just a thought - do you take tramadol? That used to make me feel itchy in a "skin crawling" kind of way .... :shock: horrible!!
