@mmoffatt: I have been in discomfort for a couple weeks with itching (arms, legs, back, torso). I can not identify a cause & relief from topical creams do not last long, nor relief from benedril or allergy OTC.
Any remedy, medication or cause that you discover will be very helpful to me… please share. dbamos1945

@dbamos1945 medication allergies and sensitivities were the root of my chronic hives, itching and other symptoms. There are allergy tests for just a few medications, most for mental health use. What I had to do, and this may not be right for everyone, was to stop the suspected medication to see if the itching resolved. After the medication left my system between 1-3 weeks, I started the medication again to see if the rash returned. Never do this without talking to your doctor first. It was grueling but it would answer the question of allergy / sensitivity.
