Please help me figure out what is causing my itchy skin?

about 2 weeks ago, i undertook a major cleaning of my house. Ever since then, every day I am finding anywhere from 2 to 6 new spots of itchy skin. I do have allergies to dust and everything associated with it. I have tried everything I can think of from washing all of my linens/slip covers for the furniture to actually taking the shop vac to my furniture (including my bed). I can't stop scratching!! It's driving me crazy... I appear to be the only one getting these, my fiance doesn't have anything on him. I've been doing some research and these bites resemble bed bugs but I don't know where they would have come from. I shower on a regular basis... I don't know what else to do... I haven't changed my diet or anything. Could I have developed an allergy to my laundry detergent even though it's the same one I have always used? What else could it be?? I haven't been able to get to my dr's b/c his schedule is basically the same as my work schedule.... HELP PLEASE!

the unsettled dust seems to have sparked your oversensitive skin to react, making your other more minor allergies to your bedsheets and cleaning products more conspicuous and extreme.





you haven't got mites, especilly seeing as you cleaned your sheets and your partner hasn't got any bites. you need to buy eqyptian cotton sheets, change your cleaning cosmetics to hypoallergenic and acohol and perfum free, and if this doesn't work, change your mattress.





in the meantime try an antihistamine product i.e. benadryl, or another brand containing Ethanolamines. this will reduce your reactions, although it will cause drowsiness even if it claims not to on the packaging





try using a spray with aloe vera extracts to speed up skin healing for the bites i.e. http://www.aloeverasupplier.co.uk/produc...
Reply:any skin conditions around the mouth or chin are usually hormonal. see gp
Reply:Sounds like you are allergic to one of the cleansers you used, but it could be continuing because it's taking your liver a while to purge the toxin. Take a benedryl for the itching, if you can, that should also help start the skin healing. Also, you might pick up echinacea w/goldenseal (a natural antibiotic) at walmart to help your liver along in cleansing your system if you think you need the extra help.
