Mom complains that her legs and arms are always itchy. Any suggestions?

Lotions, showers don't help. Mom complains that her legs and arms are always itchy. Nothing helps. We have been to dermatologist and she didn't find anything wrong. Antihistamines don't work and I think one of her medicines is causing dry mouth, so I removed the suspected prescriptions for a week. I think she's paranoid. I don't know what else to tell her to do.

Sarna lotion for itching is a godsend. Is there something in diet causing? Usual culprits are eggs, tomatoes, gluten and peanuts.

Are there liver issues? Kidney? They can cause. There is a soap called black African soap.it works. It is about 5 bux. The soap is black. The lather is not. I had a massive stress related itching thing, eczema. Awful. Between diet,the soap I named and sarna lotion I prevailed. It has never come back. Good luck. I feel for the scratchy and itchy.

Look up psychogenic itching
You may want to consult a psychiatrist.
