am experiencing intense, really intense, itchy arms from my shoulder to elbow only and mostly on left arm. The itching wakes me, I seem to spend the whole night itching my arm and have caused my arm to bruise. I have tried every cream the doctor has given me. I have tried antihistamine even the stronger phenergan from the Doctor. Has anybody had this experience? I am OCD in cleanliness and my bed and pillows are all new and of good quality. I am at a loss to what this maybe.

But does anyone get itching just under the arm (bingo wing area) 😂 I used to get a really itchy nipple on the same side as my itchy arm, which that drove me insane. I Would use a new sponge with the rough side to relieve the itching ( looked that up & said it could be Paggets disease? Not sure if that’s the correct spelling. Referred to breast clinic but everything was ok.

I went through a patch of having very itchy skin. Found Piriton
More effective than Anything else
Grew out of it as they say never did find the culprit

There is currently a thread about itchiness under Chat, and the cause of it is cinnamon. Might this be applicable to you Dorset?
