Shoulder blades always itchy!

Sounds random but my shoulder blades and the bit in between are always itchy. Getting them scratched is the best feeling ever! Even bought myself a back scratcher to do it myself.

Why they so itchy? Is it like a nerve thing?

I used to have this. It turned out to be a lack of essential fatty acids in my diet. Try adding oily fish and stuff like flax seed oil to your diet.

My diets really clean so I get loads of essential vitamins etc. it's been like this for years. Just strange

Have you tried the obvious of moisturising with something like CeraVe?

Do you stand with your back to the shower head?

I get this too!! DH is great at scratching it for me, or a well angled hairbrush. Should really get a back scratcher.

I get this as well. It drives me mad.

I get this too. And under my tits.

I think it’s an area that’s impossible to moisturise yourself so it gets very dry. Particularly in winter.

Only when washing my hair
