    Right folks I have constantly itchy back.... No rash visible but located on the left side. Any cream or ointments I can use or would a antihistamine help....I've changed wash powder but seeing as some of my clothes may have a build up it may take a while to notice if this could be the problem. Driving me crazy particularly as I can't reach the itch

    No am going to see doc first as it's driving me mad, it's on the left side just under the shoulder blade. I feel silly going about an itch though

    God. I'd have gone to the doctor long ago! trying to self medicate and having disruptive sleep isn't worth it when the doctor might be able to properly diagnose in 10 minutes.
    To come back to what you were saying about washing powder, have you had an opportunity to stay topless in the house for a while to see if that cures it?

    :) Not the solution but would prove fairly quickly if it was the washing powder. New pj's would have the same effect and be less controversial! I still think you should go to the doctor at this stage.

    Certainly when I feel warmer itch tends to be worse

    Op I'm going to have to close this thread as it's going down the road of attempted diagnostics. Speak to your GP.
