Itchy skin

[sophie_1003]

Recently I have had very itchy skin, mainly on my torso, particularly on my stomach and breasts. There isn't any rash and I haven't changed washing powders or anything like that so what could it be and what can I do to stop it?

Ringworm.

[ummmm]

Scratch.

I get it all the time. I have itchy days.

Hi sophie,
are you using a new perfume? It can get through clothing & irritate the skin x

thanks for the answers
nope nothing new, have been scratching but it's making my skin very red and nasty looking!
theres no rash so don't think it's ring worm.
I seem to be ok during the day but at night its quite irritating!

I use `Fucidin cream` or `hydrocortisone acetate cream` obtainable from your GP

ta, will try some creams and see how it goes!

Dont know how old you are but itchy skin is just one symptom of menopause, if you happen to be that age - which you probably arent!
