Frequently asked questions

Why do I itch all over with no rash?

Generalised itch without a rash can be dry skin, but persistent cases are sometimes linked to thyroid, liver, kidney or blood conditions and deserve blood tests.

How do I relieve itchy skin?

Moisturise regularly, avoid hot showers and harsh soaps, and use antihistamines for allergic itch. See a doctor if it is severe, spreading or not settling.
