No, there are no other symptoms. I have had it on my arms since mother's day of this year and the itching started spreading to my legs and stomach. I still have No rashes of any kind. My boyfriend started itching not long ago and so did my youngest daughter...

Hi,
How are you? Are there other signs or symptoms present? Itchy skin that is not accompanied by a rash, is most often caused by dry skin or xerosis. Dry skin usually results from environmental factors such as hot or cold weather with low humidity levels, long-term use of air conditioning or central heating, and washing or bathing too much.
Itchy skin from certain medications, irritation and allergic reactions, scabies, dermatitis and internal diseases which include: liver disease, malabsorption of wheat, kidney failure, iron deficiency anemia, and thyroid problems may need to be ruled out. It would be best to have this evaluated further by your doctor or be referred to a dermatologist for proper management.
Take care and regards.
