Extreme Itching Throughout Body

[evolnieineg]

Asian Male of 20 years of age.

Symptoms: Extreme itching all over body if exerted in any way. The itching seems to be almost within the skin.

The problem seems to have started around 2 years ago. I would run or excercise and when my body was a little exerted or I sweated I would become very very itchy for about 20 minutes, and then the itchiness would disappear for the rest of the day. Ignored problem is trivial or even a normal symptom of dried skin.

Now: The itchiness seems to have elevated to another level, although it is the same itching, it does NOT go away, and starts with anything as trivial as taking a walk, to even moving my arm or stretching out. It seems to be associated with heat, because if my body is cold, it is not itchy whatsoever.

Tried: dove soap,all types of lotion (seems to make it worse), consumption of large quantities of water (seems to help a little but might be psychological), stopping the eating of fried foods/sodas/etc, even allergy pills and vitamin/nutrition pills. Regular doctor checkups and Dermatologists shrug it off as nothing but a dry skin problem, but this CANNOT be normal.

Time: The itchiness seemed to almost stop at the beginning of summer, but slowly growing it again has reached it's peak at the end of summertime. It is completely ruining my days with endless scratching and embarassment, as well as making it hard to workout/run/ or even socialize.

Please help with this problem, because it is truly ruining my life.

Thank You.

I have been battling the constant itching for about 6 months. I went to a dermatologist and she treated me for Scabies. I still had the itching problem. She took a biopsy of my skin and nothing abnormal showed up. She recently took me off all my meds including all the vitamins I was taking. She was thinking maybe it is an allergic reaction to something. Nope still itching. The only thing that really helped was predisone, but it made me gain alot of weight and was only a temporary fix. I finally went in for a physical and told my primary doctor about the itching which is causing hive like sores on my body. My blood work came back and it showed a possible problem  with my kidneys. Next they sent me to have a sonagram of my kidneys and it came back stating Mild increased echogenicity seen bilaterally, reflective of underlying medical renal disease. Which means I may have Kidney disease. I am now scheduled to see a Urologist who will do more test. I have searched the internet and one of the symptoms of Kidney disease is ITCHING. I am praying it will be something that can be fixed. My comment is if you have severe ITCHING and can not find the cause go and have a physical and have them check your kidneys and liver.
