To treat this itching, you need to know the cause. Itching is a symptom, not a condition in itself.
Pruritus is the name for chronic itching.
Causes include:
Allergies
Exzema
Diabetes
Alcoholism
Certain other illnesses including cancer.
We cannot say why you are itching so much. You need to see a doctor to know why - a series of tests may be needed. In the meantime, an over-the-counter anti-itch cream may help. Your pharmacist can help you choose.
