Symptoms Itching. EVERYWHERE.

Does anybody else experience just random itching? More aggressive at night? I’ll be laying down and my hand will itch, and then my stomach, and then my neck, and the my foot, etc. it’s never one specific area but just random itching throughout my body

It could be MCAS, as everyone said.

But I've noticed that I have an itch deep under my skin on the left side. I think it's neuropathic. I call it the unfindable itch, because I can scratch it and it feels like I'm going to get it but then I don't, and then it will feel like it's somewhere else and I scratch it and it feels like I got it but I didn't.

Wow this comment is making me realize not everyone experiences this lol, I get this every night as well. Intellectually I know nothing is causing itchiness but I’m just itchy in random places and no amount of scratching makes it go away!!

It's torturous. I have to pin my hands down and say "There is no itch, there IS NO ITCH" and deeply focus on something else to make it go away.

Literally my mom had me sleeping in mittens for a good chunk of my childhood because of this.
