sara_0562 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 ok so lately i have noticed i have been excessively scratching my skin to the point of bleeding. I cant stop sometimes... its like i like the feeling of it or something. Or maybe i just have really dry skin of something. But my roomates have also noticed that i have been doing this alot and i have lots of marks all over my body from this. They said it could be a desease or a psychological issue...any thoughts?

HealingHandsWarmHeart Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 If you live in a cold climate your skin could be dry from the cold.... i know my skin can get really dry in the winter. i have to moisturize moisturize moisturize! this may sound strange but is there a particular time of the day that you are most itchy... i.e. at night, after a shower... etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidehop Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Does it actually itch? I have some eczema on my fingers which bother me quite a bit during winter. If not it could be something psychological or maybe some type of a condition you may want to get it looked at by like a dermatologist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvaGina Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I developed excma recently when really stressed, now I itch like crazy in air conditioning and if its really humid... It could be psychological however... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Pumpkin Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I had that too - mine was (weirdly) a reaction to too much dairy; an allergic reaction anyway. I was clawing at my skin in my sleep. Moisturising and an anti-histamine worked really well, and let my skin heal. It was horrible though - I was taking those pro-biotic drinks. Has anything changed in your diet or surroundings that might make you itch without realising it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengh Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I have this problem as well... Nothing really gets rid of it, but Eucerin Calming Cream (about $10) helps. You could have an allergy to something. Did you switch laundry detergent? Or maybe using a new soap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvaGina Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Oh, yeah, I get it worse if I eat too much yogurt, which is a catch 22 becuase I need more calcium and milk makes me sick (im sure milk would make me itch, too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
