I am an allergic-y person. I have a history of contact dermatitis and also psoriasis on my feet and lower legs.
I deal with all this with no problem; my legs don't look too pretty but I can survive that.
But I have the most awful, unbearable itching on my upper arms and shoulders. I try not to scratch it but it is almost impossible.
Several spot-like small open wounds on the affected areas now.
I have of course consulted my GP. There was no sign of broken skin so it was just dismissed.
I have also asked Dr Google ??
There are alien theories, ??
all sorts of advice. I have tried cider vinegar which did help but has become less effective. I use ice which certainly helps but isn't always practical.
Please can anyone help? I am so so tired from not sleeping and the constant itching is making me really narky.
