Omg body, what is going on with you? I'm not sure what the problem is. Maybe a combo of sun, water, sunscreen and bugspray over the weekend dried my skin out. Maybe I'm having a reaction to something. Maybe my skin just hates me. Whatever the cause, I'm so itchy all over. Like, skin is prickling and almost painful, itchy. Ankles to thighs, wrists to shoulders. Aghhhhhh!

Have you contacted your health care provider. These do not sound like symptoms to ignore!

I checked with the pharmacist while getting my benadryl and she said to check in with a doctor if it's not better by the end of the week. I think it's probably just a super all over bout of dry, irritated skin. I get this way sometimes, just usually in one or two places at a time.

Were you careful about poison ivy and its ilk?
Otherwise try a good moisturizer? I am not really sure what would work. Maybe some benadryl--at least you would get a good sleep, if I remember your recent experience correctly.
Wish I was more help.

I don't have any rash or hives or bumpiness on the skin. Just itchiness all over. The pharmacist gave me some antihistamines but they didn't really help, so I'm guessing it's just a bad case of all-over dry skin. I'll keep lotioning up until it eases off.
