I get itchy when I'm stressed too, to the point that it looks like I have 3rd-degree burns because I redden the skin so much. Right now I have had rashes and been scratching myself to death since August. Pdoc ruled out med allergies, family doc said "hell, I dunno" and is sending me to a dermatologist. I go Thursday. Since my head is covered too, I think it's psoriasis or eczema or something, but I dunno. It started when I was out in the sun for an hour with no sunscreen -- one of my meds causes photosensitivity, so that's what started the ball rolling.

I have to agree with whoever told you NOT TO DUMP THE OATMEAL IN THE BATHTUB. :-) Made that mistake once and it took me a week to get the tub clean! LOL But it does help stop the itching for a bit. You can buy packets of it at Walgreens for a few bucks.
