For the last few weeks (months in fact) my DH has been constantly itchy. . legs, arms, torso, back, head, you name it. He scratches until he's red raw and has occasionally drawn blood.
I get the sense that its not a dermatitis thing as theres no rash, I don't think its an allergy thing as we've tried antihistamines to no effect, can't be washing powder as its also on exposed parts of the body. Any ideas?
He gets scans yearly for possible kidney disease (family history) but my understanding is you'd have to be in fairly advanced kidney failure for itchyness to kick in. He's an otherwise very fit, healthy and active bloke. I'm stumped!
