aw! sorry to hear this. i suffer from itchy skin and my allergies are tied to my case....
might be using a new soap, fabric softener, or have eaten a new food, new perfume, anything new in the home could do it.
what i have to take is a steroid cream to stop the itching, i have to take one benadryl, one Zyrtec and one pepcid a/c every day to control my itchy skin. pepcid a/c has a antihistamine 2 blocker property in it....learned that from an ER trip.
anywho i know you said you refuse drugs, but some may offer you so relief....
until you break down and take them.....
fill a bathtub with lukewarm water and dump a whole box of baking soda, stir well and soak. it works great for when i am covered in hives, it feels like hot sandpaper if i don't. it also works for sunburns, chicken pox and dry itchy skin.
just trying to help...hope something works....
there is cream you can get
exima?
make an appointment to see the doc. In the meantime try an over the counter itch cream like hydrocortisone. You can get it at a drugstore.
That happens to me too!! sometimes i think im going to go mad because they are so itchy!!! i dig my nails in and wake up in the middle of the night scratching too! I dont know how to help it either so im going to watch this question and see what answers you get!
I thought about posting this question today but you bet me to it!! lol

try no lotion or a different lotion. just a plain natural lotion.
Could be an allergy to the soap/lotion you are using.
Could also be something you ate (sea food is a prime example).
It's not serious enough for the doc
I don't know what it is but my son's legs itch from eczema and the only thing that has helped is CeraVe moisturizing cream. I had to order it online but sometimes Walgreen's has it although I could only find the lotion here, not the cream.
yikes!! That must be awful. Have you changed anything lately? Soap, laundry detergent... even though you don't have a rash, you may be sensitive to something. Also even though you are putting lotion on, maybe try a new lotion? Some people are sensitive to lanolin, so try some without it. Try drinking lots of water to keep yourself hydrated too. But if you are that miserable, you are right. Go to the doc! At least maybe they can give you a prescription hydrocortozone lotion so you aren't miserable while you are trying to figure out the culprit! Good luck!
go to the doctor, it sounds like the same kind of symptoms my daughter and grandson had and it turned out to be eczema. they will give you special lotion for it.good luck
Sorry to hear about your problem. Best way would be to go to the doctor, plus instead of using lotion after taking bath try to use baby oil or any body
