Extremely Itchy w/ Pins & Needles, no rash or skin problem

[Scratching69]

I get extremely itchy with all these PINS & NEEDLES all over my body especially my legs, back, arms, face, neck, & scalp. It is worse just after a hot shower. I have no rash or skin condition. I had kidney stones earlier this year but not sure if there is a connection. Also got stung by a jellyfish badly but again I don't think there is a connection.

I tried all skin creams including benadril, hydrocortisine, aloe vera, cocoa butter, ..the list goes on.  The only thing that seems to work somewhat is soaking my entire body in BABY OIL after a shower so I can stand still for brushing my teeth. My legs usually start tingling with pins and needles that drive me crazy.

Does anyone know about this itchy / pins & needles condition and how to cure it ???

I have this exact problem and it's caused by a milk protein allergy. Not lactose intolerance, milk allergy.

I've read at least half of the comments posted and it seems as if no one really has an answer to what this could be. My symptoms are the same as most although my pins and itch is more intense in my hands the time around. Ive been dealing with this for almost two years and all other times it has been more painful/itchy in the torso area. I was just checking online before making an appointment with my Dr. I can't deal anymore, today it caught me off guard while trying to take care of some personal business (try sitting in a meeting when it strikes). I literally had to walk/run outside, get into my car and do the crazy scratch dance with hopes that nobody saw me lose my mind for a minute. Sound ridiculous but anybody who's felt this knows what I'm talking about. Thank for the insight if I find out anything new I'll be sure to post

Hi, did you ever find out what you have. Your symptoms  are very close to mine. Just curious  what they told you.

Thanks and hope it's better by now.

if you feel very sick and cant get better and no infections or diseases showed up then ask your doctor for a HEMATOLOGY APT they check your blood very very good not just spin the damn vile, i have a apt coming up 9-29-15 ill report after that and let you all know whats going on with me at least, i have every symptom you can think of and very sick feeling!!

Hi, for the past nine months my skin has progressively got worse with an itch or pins and needles all over my body including itchy eyes. There has never been a rash on any part of my body. I have had every known blood test to man, as well as a visit to a dermatologist (no skin issues detected) and allergist (no allergies detected). I am otherwise healthy with no other symptoms. I have tried every type of antihistamine on the market including prednisone. I have tried a menthol based cream made at the chemist. The only medical issue I had around the time the itching started was a small head trauma which a large alloy hatch on a boat closed on me in high winds causing me to get four stitches in my head. Could the issue be nerve based? I have had a CT on my head around the area, but nothing found. Is there another test to check this out? I am at my wits end. If anyone has any advise or further tests etc. please send it thru. Cheers, Justin - Sydney Australia.
