there are several possible causes.
Interesting, but some doctors claim that the most common cause of itch is psychological - it may be due to stress, anxiety...
Have you been exposed to prolonged exposure to UV radiation from the sun?

Itching is skin tingling or irritation that makes you want to scratch the itchy area. It's a symptom of many health conditions. Common causes are :

Allergic reactions

Dry skin
Insect bites and stings
Irritating chemicals
Parasites such as pinworms, scabies and head lice
Pregnancy
Rashes
Reactions to medicines .

You can treat Itching condition with Cicada Slough and Mint effectively.

Itch is a skin disease caused by impure blood. The best way to purify the blood is to ensure that you void your stools and pass urine in adequate quantities and also perspire so that poisonous humours are expelled from the body. Take an enema daily to clear your bowels, take as much water as you can and spend some time in covering your body with a cold bandage. What your should do in this: spread four blankets on a hard bed or on the floor. Take a cotton bed sheet, dip it in cold water and wring it lightly. Spread the wet sheet over the blankets. Take off your cloths and lie down on the sheet, covering your body with it. Wrap the blankets over your one by one. Within half an hour to an hour you will perspire profusely. Drink some hot water before you wrap yourself in the wet sheet and the process of perspiration will he hastened. After an hour take a cloth bath. Take this treatment thrice in a week. On alternate days, rub your skin with your palms after wetting them with cold water. The pores will open and all the harmful humours will be expelled from the body.

A salt free diet is the best for itch; you can resume salt after you are cured. Take tomatoes and green gram for lunch and bread and green vegetables for dinner. In case green gram is not available, eat germinated gram.

I can absolutely empathize with the total body itch. I'm dealing with it myself right now & it's been about 2 weeks. I've had it in the past before as well. I do have eczema, but that is not what this is. It's stress/anxiety. When I relax myself, the itch subsides. So, that's what I try to do.

Good Luck...Linda...

good day everyone,
so it turns out the reason I've had this complete body itch for the last 3 weeks is due to stress (I went to see my doctor & she came to this conclusion). I do handle stress badly & I have had some changes in my life lately, so she said it's hives & she gave me a prescription for this cream compound. I've been using it for 4 days & things seem to be looking up.
Cheers

Take a soft -warm bath and after that use itch guard.
