the source of the itch may be neurologic and not from the skin. i would recommend seeing an internist or possibly a neurologist to evaluate further.
my daughter has severe itching in her hands and feet primarily at night. she cannot sleep. what could be the issue? . two days ago her doctor gave her a steroid shot and xyzal tablets. they do not seem to work. we have also given her 2 advil pm -- they do not help her sleep. she has missed six days of school as she only finally falls asleep at 5 a. m.
