Terrible Itch On The Bottom Of Feet, Back And Arms. Worsens At Night. Possible Causes ?
I have a terrible itch on the bottom of my feet, my back, hands, arms and neck and legs. Sometimes the itch is so severe I slightly bleed. This itch tends to be worse at night. I've changed soap and detergent within the last several months but the problem still exist. I have no known allergies. This problem started within the last couple of months. I'm on no meds.

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. The symptoms you have mentioned are mostly related to eczema. You can apply mild cortecosteroid ointment topically and watch if there is any change. Take antihistaminics. If will go away by time mostly. Good hygiene is necessary to prevent recurrence. Hope this answers your query. Thank you.
