The first 2 years after I moved, I had no more allergies & no more dry, itchy skin. After 2 years living here, I once again had allergies & dry itchy skin. I have been told by a dermatologist that I have mild eczema. I use almond oil as moisturizer when my skin is super-dry. I also use OTC eczema relief lotion, Cetaphil body wash, no drying soap, & Benadryl & Zyrtec antihistamines.
I have been itching like crazy for the past 2 weeks & I believe it's because spring finally arrived & everything is shedding pollen.
I feel your pain, believe me!

I have to say, I HATE the itchiness...but to scratch an itch like this and get relief, I can feel the dopamine flood my brain as I aggressively scratch it!
Not sure if anyone else gets this feeling too?
