Irritated and itchy skin with no rash

Hello to everyone!

Somehow i felt relieved when I found this post.

I am 36. I had my covid infection on the first days of August, 2022. High fever (39 to 40 degrees Celsius) for a couple of days and nothing else. On the 5th day the self test came out negative.

Four weeks later, suddenly I was so tired. I couldn’t do much. My blood test showed high level of ferritin (409 ng/ml) nothing else abnormal.

And then? a rash! What kind of? Pityriasis rosea. It was October of 2022. I received medication and the rash did go away within a week.

Here is the serious part of my story. Since November of 2022, i have itchy skin with no rash! Itching all over my body and tiggling sometimes. I get tested again and again. My ferritin level is normal now but I have extremely high IGE (500 IU/mL) and of course itching still here. However I can handle it without any kind of medication and I think is getting better over the months.

But I am so anxious about it. I never had a rash or itchy skin before in my whole life!
This is so stressful that recently I got gum disease and night sweats.

I have intermittent itchy tingly skin all over with no rash. I had covid at Christmas time. It drives me crazy and then goes away the next day.

Hey there! Have any of your medications changed companies? By that I mean for instance, I use to could take Ceftin for sinus infections (the white tablet) then a few months back I was prescribed Ceftin (blue tablet). I woke up itching from head to toe....no rash. I believe it was the blue dye in the tablet. I took Zyrtec and stopped the Ceftin and the itching went away. Also, soak in Aveeno oatmeal soak baths if you can. Use Curel fragrance free lotion for dry skin and also have you tried Benadryl cream for the extreme itching places? Just a few thoughts and I hope they hope. Covid causes so many crazy symptoms that are not fully understood yet.
God Bless!
