What can I do to stop itching?


This is a problem and it's driving myself and my fiance crazy. We live together so naturally we sleep in the same bed and I am constantly moving around because I am itching. I take a bath every night before bed so that's not the problem. I use Vaseline intensive care lotion for sensitive skin every night. I don't know what the problem is or how to fix it. I itch throughout the day but I don't notice it as bad as when I am trying to sleep. HELP?? Thanks.

Water, water, water....your skin needs to be hydrated. I also recommend Eucerin, it's a bit greasy but after you put it on you're not going to want to scratch it.

Try Aveeno or an oatmeal bath and drink more water

Try cortisone cream, it worked for me when nothing else did, not even aveeno, it caused a worse itching sensation for me. Keep it by your bed so when you itch you can reapply.

You could be allergic to the laundry detergent, dryer sheets, or Downy (if its used), that your clothes and sheets are washed in.

My friend's leg ALWAYS itches. Sometimes he scratches it so much that his leg starts bleeding! He went and bought some geranium oil, and he says it workds awsome... maybe try some of that!
