Itching all over body

[Dyros 32]

I've had an itchy rash that started on my neck line and worked its way down my back , it's no where else, I tried anti histamine creams and Benedryl and worried it's going to be with me forever!! My bloods were checked and they are fine, I haven't used any new Shampoo or washing powder's, any idea's ???

I've been itching like crazy I thought it was my Adderall since I'm taken tablets a switch for xr but I guess I'm not the only one, this is weird!

Had sleeve done 4/28/15. Had itching during first 2 weeks, has subsided. I thought it was due to the loss of fat. My skin is all wrinkled from my body losing fat . Thought maybe that had something to do with it.

So glad I saw this thread. I've been itching since a couple of days post-op. I have tape allergies, but worst places are not near incisions but are neck, upper back and sides. Especially at night. Thought I was losing my mind! Wakes me in middle of night. There has got to be an answer. ...

I read somewhere that this rash could be "pruritis pigmentosa״

I'm having the same problem. And did the same thing. Like changing sheets and even spraying down the bed , carpet and whole bedroom with bug spray thinking that something was biting me. But it wasnt. And I even have welts and rashes behind my ears, back of my neck and everything.

I think it's a great idea to check and see if it is kidney problems.

Hi all sorry I haven't kept you all abreast to the itching that I had suffered with. Just a reminder I had the surgery in April and began itching about 4 days after my hospital stay. I spoke with my surgeon who then informed me that it could have been from the pain meds so I then spoke with my PC doc., and he stated to take my allergy pills and use itch cream. It did last a couple of months but has ended. I went through that but don't at all regret having the surgery because of all the other factors to date. I'm no longer hiding and still have more to go.

Good luck everyone, please don't regret having the surgery as there is still so much more positive things to come.

For the first couple weeks i had a very itchy rash. EVERYWHERE! Most intense areas were my abdomen and breasts. Hang in there, it goes away.
