For the last four or so years I have been plagued with extreme itching of the arms and shoulders.  The itching is predominately on the upper arms and inner shoulders and slightly more on the right than the left.  My arms are always bloodied and sore from the scratching.  Sheets and clothing are stained.  My doctor has prescribed various things.  As of yesterday I take100MG Trazodone and 10MG Singulair - also included are Benedryl and Melatonin.  In case the itching is so bad that I still can't sleep she has prescribed 5MG Diazepam.  It's not working tonight!!  Before yesterday I took 50MG Doxepin and 10MG Singulair along with the Benedryl and Melatonin.  That worked somewhat for a couple of months but then back to this terrible itching.  Any ideas that we might not have already tried?  Tjhanks.

For the past few weeks I have had tiny little flesh colored blisters all over my chest, neck and arms.  I have had this once before, but it went away within a couple days.  This has continued to spread and group more.  It has blanketed everywhere with no specific shapes in mind.  The blisters have clear liquid i them.  They look like pimples, but they are not red, they do not itch. They are fleshed tone and it is more annoying because it is making my skin dryer than usual.  What do you think this is?

dear doctor,

Please i have got spots (big ones) on my forehead, it started with one, i pumped it and the they reached 10 big ones. That happened in a week , and they opened all on each other and they had a transparent fluid in them. I used Oxygen water to clean it many times a day. I am so worried they r now dry but pale red colored. Knowing that last year same time i had for a whole month whitehead little spots many many around my penis, was hurting and itching and as well i use to clean it with the same product.
I am so terrified to have that again, specially that i never had anything or that kind of spots in my body. Please let me know why i had that? and how to prevent it!

I am 35 years old, oily skin.

Awaiting your fast reply,

and thank you in advance.

Abo.
