for past 2 days they have been itching, and if i dont stop myself i could quite easliy end up drawing blood.
Skin is not broken, no rash nothing.

it like its right under the skin.

Havent changed any washing powders. Only ting i have down is to put a bit of johnsons moisturising tan on, but i put it on legs, arms and chest, and having no probs, plus that was on saturday.

v weird

I think it's the Johnsons! I had a reaction to it recently. On my neck & chest I did come out in a rash when I used it. It felt like prickly heat and the rash was red and bumpy and took ages to go. But the front of my thighs were really itchy too but I didn't get a rash there. It also took a couple of days before I started itching.

Try a cooling bath with salt or lavendar or lemon or something that cleans the pores out and try and wear a lot of loose cotton.

I've just put the Dove Tanning Moisturiser on my Ocado order for Friday. I'll let you know next week if I get all itchy!

hiya, thanks for the comment. yes it is the only thing i can think of, i just dont know why my legs arent itching tho, BUT saying that, my arms were out in the sun on friday for about an hour, and they felt a little irritated, but for a short time.

Yes let me know about the dove, it is suppsed to be good isnt it. I see it is on ofer, or was on offer on Boots a few days ago.

Maybe its also why i have had a few bumpy spots on my face too, but I'd put that down to coming off the pill, why are there always such random things going on at the same time whenever we get some sort of symptom!! Its the same when things happen to the kids, there are always several 'new' things that have happened at the time of an illness or a rash.
