Do you take an ACE inhibitor drug for blood pressure?
If so you might ask your doctor to switch you. ACE drugs increase bradykinin in the body and some people (even over time) get too much of this building up in the tissues. (ACE drugs are Vasotec, Lisinopril, Benazepril (AKA Lotensin) Captopril (AKA Capoten) Enalapril (AKA Vasotec / Renitec) Fosinopril (AKA Monopril) Lisinopril (AKA Lisodur / Lopril / Novatec / Prinivil / Zestril) Perindopril (AKA Coversy / Aceon) Quinapril (AKA Accupril) Ramipril (AKA Altace / Tritace / Ramace / Ramiwin) Zofenopril from http://theemtspot.com/2010/03/26/the...ce-inhibitors/ Bradykinin is similar to histamine, it will cause fluid to build up in the tissues, and that includes the skin. Antihistamines don't work on it however. So if you take an ACE drug, it could be a culprit... if not, then you have to keep looking. Try putting a cold pack on the area that itches...that often will stop the feelings without overstimulating the skin.

Welcome to NT Another thing you can do is to 'SUBSCRIBE" to any threads you make a post on (or that interest you), this then shows up as a check box on the lists which makes it easier for you to find them again. You can also find them again through the 'UserCP' - on the menu bar above, (Click 'View All Subscribed Threads' on the left.) To subscribe to a thread; click on "Thread Tools", a drop down box appears, click on "Subscribe to this Thread" it will then go to a confirmation box "Add Subscription"- click that as well. Feel free to ask any questions about how to get around the site or about terms you don't understand and someone will help out. (or there's the Medical Dictionary at top right of screen) Last edited by bluesfan; 11-25-2015 at 08:28 PM. Reason: Spacing & add info. |

Where we disagree is that it's gone on - I'm recounting - at least 2 months and the 3 blisters I've had haven't broken. They just flatten back down to a small pinkish area I can barely see. nothing is spreading. The same ones go through cycles of a slight itch to the maddening itch you can see - then back to nothing - no dry skin, no flaking, no scab etc. - just plain skin. Maybe like pn, there is no cure - just coping. |

Thanks, pinky. I evidently did something wrong again since my reply to you last week wasn't printed. I'm going to write it again::::: I think I agree with you somewhat. Shingles comes from chicken pox - both of which are herpes zoster. Info I found linked all this to this itch, but none of it mentioned a time span or effective treatment relief. Over 2 months now and the same places keep appearing with terrible itching - then totally disappearing until maybe a week later. 0ver and over. Never all at the same time but constantly a few. When you get this, how long does it last and what helps you? |

Yup, I get quite itchy too. A few times I've had soars that have opened and bled or gotten infected because of it. It's the worst on my feet though. I've heard there are some types of amyloidosis that can show up with an itch, I think it was on your upper back, but I'm not sure if that would apply for all over your body. I know it's relatively common, or certainly not uncommon. The itches on my feet just wouldn't go away, as though they were internal.

Jon, it only happened one time and best I remember it lasted approximately 3 weeks. I think mine was related to a mango allergy but never knew for sure. The itch I sometimes get now is what I understand to be a more typical one on my hands/feet.
