If you can't get some relief, you may need to see your doctor and get some medicine to get the condition under control. I have had to take prednisone for some allergic itching reactions I've had.

Do you currently take any medications? You may have developed a reaction to one of them and that is causing the itching. I think this is common. Are you on any new meds? If you suspect the itching is in response to a med, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice on which it may be. I have been taking lots of vicodin recently and the doctor warned me to watch out for itching. She didn't want to up my dosage until she knew I was itch-free.
