Intense Itching Episodes - Small Non-raised Red Spots Posted: 03-19-07 18:08pm
Hello All,
I will describe my symptoms:
I experience intense itching on my back
and chest mostly, sometimes on my arms and
legs.
I've noticed that I can get small
non-raised red spots at the onset of the
itching episode.
The episodes seem to come on when I would
begin sweating.
It can wake me up at night as well.
If I get stressed, it can flare up as
well.
I don't seem to sweat hardly at all, if I
work out hard and long, I don't seem to
sweat as much as other people.
If I can cool down by going outside (live
in Wisconsin) it will stop the episode.
Scratching the itch seems to alleviate the
symptons as well, but I end up with red
skin (not really a problem compared to the
itching).
It causes me to not want to exercise as
the sensation is almost excruciating.
Has anyone experienced this?
Any ideas how to treat it, rather than
avoid it?
Thanks,
Brian

It almost sounds like eczema which a
prescription of hydro-cortisone can fix,
Im on trio derm and I keep breaking out
but its not just stress its also allergies
usually environmental. I would go see a
dr just to rule out a bacterial/fungal
problem.
