About 6 months ago I started itching and went to the Dr. who said I had head lice. My body itched too, so my hubby and I thought we had body lice...washed everything in hot water. Didn't help. My doctor treated us 5 times for scabies. That didn't work. My doctor said it was seborric dermatitis on my scalp. So I am using Selsin Blue after trying different shampoos. I use mild dye and fragarice free soap and laundry detergent. The Selsin helps but my scalp still itches. Also, I put on lotion after my showers that has aloe vera and wear cotton clothing.
As for my body;;;;I take Claritin daily and have tried OTC hydrocortisone and prescription Triamcinlone Acetonide but the rash is all over my face, neck, chest, and belly. Benadryl doesn't do anything. The itching keeps me up at night and makes it difficult to function during the day. I also itch around my mouth and inside my ears and nose, along with dry mouth and eyes. I thought it was allergies to medications, so I discontinued Aleve, Flovent and Verapamil...none of these was the culprit.
Recently I have had Chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain. The doctor did blood work, which included CBC, TSH, Lipid panel; everything was normal. I asked for them to test for food and environmental allergies, but am waiting for the blood tests to come back.
My rash also has these strange little red sores that are itchy. They look like pimples but often take four weeks to finally get a head on them, or they don't get a head on them at all. After they do get a head and pop, they take another two weeks or more to heal.
