[wahwahwah]

as it says... I am itchy - arms, legs, head, face... no rash or bumps, boils or temperature.

So whats the prognosis - fleas or chicken pox?

Have you recently stopped taking anthistamines? DS has been itchy all over for a fortnight, and apparently some antihistamines can do that to you when you come off them.
