The Question I Have Seen Here Many Times, "Do You Have Itching?" Yesterday, Came The Revelation.
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I jumped on with a resounding YES! YES! My arm, it was a tickling, irritating, unresolvable itch, that had to play out for a few minutes. I would grab the Calamine lotion, at times it helped, if I applied it before I began scratching. Revelation yesterday! My face, scalp, small dry patches on Left arm, elbow have been itching as well.

Does Anyone Else Get Mysterious Rashes And Itching?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I will get very itchy in different parts of my body for no known reason. I also have experienced burning circular rashes on my right arm and an oblong rash on my right shoulder. They take a long time to go away and they leave scars. The weird thing is these rashes so far have only happened on the right side of my body. I'm not on any new medications and I haven't changed my laundry detergent. I was just wondering if anyone else experiences mysterious rashes and itching?
