Suggest Treatment For Severe Itching All Over The Body

My skin itches all over. I will have just a normal itch but when I go to scratch it, it triggers something and I will start itching all over......drives me nuts, from head to toe. Usually starts in legs. I have had cellulitis in right year and on multiple antibiotics and IVs for almost a year, just got off a couple of months ago......not allergic to any as far as I know......could this be caused by the nervous system?

Hi, I think you should do a liver function test. It can be due to some liver disease. Get a ultrasound done to rule out liver, gall bladder or any other internal problem. You can take some antihistaminics like cetrizine for itching.
