I used to be healthy...i have nothing to be worried about like allergies.I can eat anything and everything I want.The year before last I had this itches on my hand,pimple like bumps with-water like thing inside.I thought it was just nothing because i don't have any history of allergy,i pinched and wounded it.The itch started to come up my arms,part of my body down to my thighs,legs and feet.I've been to different dermatologist and taken prescribed pills/medicine but to no avail.I had it for more than one month,and by the end of the second month the itch is starting to invade my neck and face.So you could just imagine having this thingy and raising then 4y.o boy ans almost 2 y.o girl.Thank God,i don't have it on my private parts.And thank God finally we found the perfect doctor for me.I had 1 month UVB exposure, that's every other day.I'm also taking medicine and a very expensive moisturizer that made my skin back to its normal appearance.Since then, i notice a big change.I have allergies on seafoods,chicken,fish base sauces.Though i can eat lesser moderation for milder attack and tolerable itches.Or feast with these foods and take medicine right after.
Was there any time in your life when everything seems to be normal and then the next day your life turned 180 degrees?

Up to the time before entering College, my life was normal but the second month after entering, I became sick with my head. Blocking out in class room and was unable to continue my studies. Well think God I am able to go through life without this affecting me again. Glad that you have found a doctor who is knowledge about your sickness

i experienced the same..when i was young i never knew i had allergies with any kind of food..i eat almost anything but doesn't have any reactions on me..when i grown to my teen age..i felt the itch almost on every part of my body specially on my thigh and legs..it turns into color red spots and i thought i was having a H-Fever..i went to the doctor and it was not..when i went to a dermatologist i found out that i was allergic to seafoods and anything preserved..specially the foods thats kindly smelly..we have lots of those here in my country..dried fish i cant eat that also and the crab paste..its so hard because i love to eat those stuff..now i have to control myself of eating those or i'll be in hell again..the itch is not tolerable..and plus it marks all over my body that i cannot wear some of my clothes anymore..i cant wear shorts and skirts anymore because of this allergies had left me scars..thing is i am keloidal so even the smallest scar when it heals it leaves to stretch and become big..

The effect it has on you was bad....very bad.Fortunately mine does not have any marks,Thank God!I never scratch as much as possible.What i did then was use hot compress on the itchy part.I would soak myself in a tub full of hot (tolerable temperature) water during an attack early morning.Have you use any topical solution/cream or ointment for the itch?I am part keloidal also but whenever i have skin itches i have only one medication to trust.
