Itching

My skin itches after taking a bath. I have changed soaps and body lotions ## Hello, Sybza! How are you doing? What about your shampoo and conditioner, if you use any? Those typically wash down over the body, when you're using them and then rinse them off, so that's also something you should look into. How about your towels and the detergent and/or fabric softener you use on them? What type of water do you have? All could be culprits. Have you consulted your doctor?

I am 24 years old and I have had an on and off skin rash on the top of my left foot and one on my outside of my right shoulder for the past 2-3 years. Same two places always. I have not been to the dermatologist because they seem to go away if I can leave them alone and not scratch them. When I do get them they stay for awhile because I can't stop scratching them (maybe due to stress). The past month they have been itching the hell out of me and I can't stop scratching. I have tried all types of lotions and creams that you can buy at a walgreens but they only work for a little bit then back to scratching. I asked the pharmacist for his 'expert opinion' and he said I should try something stronger like cordran tape that covers the area and prevents me from scratching it. I...

Hello I have problems with an itchy rectum. I don't know why? can you help please ## Hello, Janko! How are you? As listed by the NIH, that could be a symptom of hemorrhoids. Have you ever had any blood in your stool or pain during/after a bowel movement? Have you consulted a doctor? Are you on any medications? Do you strain to have a bowel movement? ## Hi, I used trimovate cream for this and it was amazing. It stopped my itching.

Has anyone had night time itching with Jevity? ## Hello, Amy! How are you? Since this is basically just a medical food to provide proper nutrition, it's very doubtful that it would be causing it. Have you consulted your doctor? Are you on any medications? What medical conditions do you have? ## I'm have bad itching upper body. It's been 3 months since I finished radiation. Itching is bad creams don't help for long Arms back and chest itch no marks or rash. Was wondering if it was feeding Jevity

I am suffering from severe itching in my inner thighs where the underwear borders touch the skin and also arm pit and groins. I had taken medicines for about three months and during this period the problem just seems gone but the same problem is back with great fury. I have severe itching especially at night. As far as I remember I had tried some yeast bread and also had been on antibiotic medicine a year and a half back. From then on I think this problem started..I am employed and sometimes i feel so ashamed to not resist itching my rectum area. Please suggest some medicines to get rid of this problem. Thank you. ## Hello, Joshva! How are you doing? Sorry about the problem that you're having. If it's occurring where clothing tightly rubs the skin, you could be allergic to the d...

Anyone have a remedy for all of this dang Itching? ## Incivek contains the active ingredient Telaprevir, which is used to treat Hepatitis-C and a rash is a very common side effect of it. Learn more Incivek details here. How severe is your Hepatitis? What kind of shape is your liver in? Are the enzymes elevated? I'm not sure what might be safe for you to use in this case. Have you tried asking your doctor?

Hi,I have be prescribed hydroco/acetamin and I have itching all over and the places that I have been itching there is small dark spot. I was wondering what causes it and what does that really mean. I also have less of a appetite. I even itch on my throat. Should I be concerned. I tried looking up what it all means but alls I get is..its severe. Please tell what that means by severe. ## Hello, Taz! How are you? It means that you're most likely having an allergic reaction to this medication and should stop taking it. Your doctor should be able to prescribe an alternative medication to treat pain. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else...

Can you take belviq in the morning and Benadryl at noon,I am allergic to grass,and I'm really itching,what should I do ## I didn't find any interactions listed between these two medications, but it's always best to double check such information to be sure. The FDA classifies Benadryl as an antihistamine that's used to treat or prevent allergic reactions. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, drowsiness and dry mouth. Belviq is used to aid in weight loss and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, blurred vision and lower back pain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thx,I took the Benadryl and became more sleepy than normal,but the itching stop! ??????

I used Chantix over two years ago to quit smoking. Within a few days my lower legs broke out in a rash and the itching was unbearable. My doctor said to stop using the drug and see if things cleared up. I stopped using the medication. The rash went away a few days later and over time the intense itching subsided. However, to this date my legs still itch. It's a daily irritant. Anyone else with similar experience? ## Hello, Steve! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. However, a medication side effect would not continue for that long after stopping it. The itching is most likely being caused by something else. Are you on any other medications? Have you had it checked out by your doctor? Chantix is approved by the FDA to treat nicotine addiction. Typical...

I used to take half an Oxycodone 5/500 as needed for cervical for neck pain and it worked fine. Last night I took a whole dose for the first time because of sever stomach pain from vomiting all day. I may have eaten something bad the day before but there was nothing more in my stomach and the pain kept me awake (but I was exhausted from the ordeal). My refill is Endocet 5-325. I guess I had an allergic reaction because my feet started burning in the middle of the night and I was going insane. I iced them in a pan of cold water and ice for as long as I could (30 seconds in/30 seconds out) until I finally felt numb and fell asleep. Woke up late afternoon to the burning itch in my feet - worse than before - and burning, itching palms as well. It was too late to go to my doctor or urgent ca...

Does Keppra cause an intense itch? My father was on Keppra for three years, then stopped for almost three months. He went back on it 2 x 500mg and about a month later developed an itch on his arms, back, and chest. ## He may have developed an allergy to it. Our bodies are always changing as time passes, so even if we were able to take something before, we can suddenly develop a reaction to it, if we try it again. Has he consulted his doctor about the problem? He may need to switch to a different medication. Learn more Keppra details here.

I was removed from an antidepressant coctail 5 years ago and put on Prozac. It works for depression, but I have developed a horrible itching problem which I wonder if may be related to this drug. I have had diagnostics for everything. No rash. Just an increasing inability to tolerate any irritation to skin surface without literally months of horrible itching. I am being tortured to death. Any suggestions/help? ## How long has the itching been occurring? Do you take any other medications? Have you consulted a dermatologist? Itching can occur with Prozac, but it usually happens immediately, not after you've been on it for awhile. ## I have been to every kind of physician. None can figure this out. I itch 24-7. Carry around ice bags and bottles continually. It is getting worse, althoug...

I have been taking Lexapro 10 mg for a year. It controls my anxiety wonderfully. I started having itching (small bumps on my lower legs) which the dermatologist says are normal. I've also begun to have itching on my arms, my buttocks, my upper legs - pretty much all over. Has anyone ever heard of Lexapro causing these symptoms? ## Hello, Kathleen! How are you? Yes, it can cause itching as a side effect in some people that take it. After being on it for such a long time, if it hasn't gone away, you most likely need to speak to your doctor about trying a different medication. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi,, I started taking Belviq 3 days ago. About 4 hours after I take it I start itching all over.Has anyone had this side effect? Does anyone have any tips?It is driving me crazy. Also, I was taking Phentermine but my doctor took me off it. Does anyone know if you can take it with Belviq? Seems like it would help with the drowsiness. ## Generally, they are not prescribed together, since there is a greater risk of your experiencing more severe side effects, which could include nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, insomnia, and anorexia, according to FDA reports. Has there been any change to the itching? Did you also experience hives, or a rash? If so, that could be the sign of an allergic reaction and this might not be a safe medication for you to take. ## Thank you very much on the ...

I on larsarton and started itching very bad all over is this a side effect. ## Hello, Candy! How are you? Sorry about the itching! Do you also have a rash/hives or are you just itchy? If it's the latter, then it could be due to the effect that the Losartan has on your circulation, since it basically eases the workload on the heart to lower your blood pressure and treat cardiac conditions. If it's severe and continues, you may need to ask about trying a different medication. Other side effects may include headache, cough and low blood pressure. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Started Losartan in mid-June 2014. Within days I started itching...first around my lower back, then my forearms and the backs of my thighs on the second day. Doctors didn't have a clue, and I ...

I seem to have a very smart Doctor. He prescribed Norco 10-325 for post surgical pain. The first bottle gave me nothing but relief. The refill, at a different pharmacy, caused unbelievable itching all over and down my throat. I called and told him he had me look up the mfgr on the bottle. It was Qua. He said my problem is the dye used in the second batch. He re prescribed to the original pharmacy and got the Norco manufactured by Watson. If you are taking an opiate that is making you itch, have your doctor re prescribe from a pharmacy that uses the pill made by a different mfgr. You are probably not allergic to opiates or Codiene after all. ## Hello, Charliemike! How are you? I am very sorry about the problem that you experienced. However, I would like to clarify that while this may be ...

I have been taking Contrave for three weeks and have developed itching on the insides of my hands and the bottoms of my feet. Has anyone else experienced this? ## Hello, Arlie! How are you? Do you have a rash, or just the itching? Contrave has been known to cause a rash as a side effect, as listed by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache and insomnia.
