I have itchy skin, too. The worst place right now is on my left hand on top of my thumb.

I seem to itch all over at night when I'm trying to fall asleep. It goes from my hand to my arm to my leg....then my back then my neck then starts all over again on my hand.

I think I finally fall asleep from exhaustion!

I've tried everything. Unscented lotions, cheap lotions, expensive lotions. I have a pharmacy of lotions in my bathroom closet! Nothing seems to help.

My Dad used to complain of the exact same kind of itching. We used to buy Eucerin lotion by the gallon because he claimed that was the only thing that helped. I admit....I got aggravated at times when he'd constantly complain about the itch. Karma is at work here.......I'm getting my payback twofold!!
