Thank you Dr. T. Blake, you are about the 1st doctor that has said what this itchy sickness possible could be. I've been to 3 emergency rooms, my own doctor and a skin and vein doctor and not one of them new what it was. They test me for all kinds of things and still has not come up with anything. Just leave me itchy. Tomorrow I go to another skin doctor, I will surely tell them what I think it may be, maybe they can figure something out and give me some idea of how long this is to last.
If you know could you please respond.
Thank you so much.

i assume that you are referring to eczema.
Eczema or atopic dermatitis is a chronic (long-term) skin disorder. People with eczema have scaly and itching rashes. There is often a family history associated with eczema.
Things which can worsen this condition include exposure to environmental irritants, stress, temperature changes, and how dry your skin is.
In some cases it has been witnessed that controlling depression, stress, nervousness and anxiety can be beneficial.
Treatments vary depending on the stage of the lesions.
Please consult your doctor for more information about treatments. A good idea is to write down what you want to ask / say to your doctor beforehand on a pad and bring that with you to the consultation.
Best of luck.
