After I gave birth I had extremely bad itching all over my body for about 6 or 8 weeks, which I just assumed was something to do with hormones. It calmed down after a while but still, 18 months later I have a patch on my back that is constantly itching.
There is no rash or dry skin, nothing visually wrong. The patch is now numb to the touch though (apart from the itching!) I have tried all sorts of creams and moisturisers.
I don't really feel like its serious enough to go to the gp and pharmacies are really busy doing prescriptions for people who are actually ill, so I don't want to bother them at the moment either.
Any ideas what could be causing it or what I can do to ease it?
