Bros go and get Palm Oil and rub it all over your body and thank me later...

I mean cooking palm Oil...

Rub it all over your body...

The thing go stop...

I had same experience about 2 months ago and after medications couldn't help, I remembered what my mom use to do for us back in the days...

It worked like magic and I didn't need those medications anymore..

Try it and Testify.
Palm oil?

From the way this thing looks, it may likely be a skin problem that is causing serious itching, and it is disturbing sleep at night.
But honestly, without seeing the skin or doing tests, it’s hard to be sure what exactly is going on.
If you can start by doing a Full blood count, Liver function tests, EUCR, Skin Scrape Test
In the mean time Oral antihistamine( 4th Gen) at night like Levocetirizine, Avoid hot baths and Strong soaps
Moisturize skin 2 hourly
After starting these and doing the tests, it’s important to see a skin specialist (Dermatologist) for proper diagnosis and treatment.
If possible, try to also take clear pictures of the skin rash will really help understand what is going on.
.

The rashes are like heat rashes and not clearly visible

May you find healing. Why not go to the primary health care in your locale and get counsel? The medicine can't be so hard to get.
Amen Sir.
Thanks.

NaijaHelper1:
You have chronic pruritus. It's more of a symptom than an actual disease. What that means is that you have an underlying health condition you have not treated, usually kidney, liver, skin or an allergy problem. You need to isolate which one it is and attack it back accordingly. Sorry. I cannot imagine what you're going through.
No, there's no kidney or liver issues with me

So sorry for what you are facing right now.

What usually trigger this itch? is it after taking your bath or when you eat a particular food?

I notice I itch when I eat groundnut or immediately after taking my bath, I've learned to manage and live with it since no cure for it
Sincerely, I really don't know what triggers it.

I was told it's filariasis of the skin which causes this itching. And every human being has it in them, but some don't manifest

My dear, your problem is a spiritual one.... You need to pray and drive out the demon out of your body.. any problem that defy medical care or drug has a spirit behind it.
How is it a spiritual problem and where did I see in my post that the issue has defied medical care?

90% of the commentors here would say HIV. just watch.

I had skin infection which lasted for months. I spent more than 200k on drugs and test. I posted it here last year and a lot of them were shouting HIV.

someone here said i should be eating garlic i did but no way. I saw a post on TikTok where someone had that same skin disease and he was told to mix bitter leaf and one 'drygin' like that to drink. I have forgotten the name of the gin when i remember i will post.

Na so i buy that dry-gin and bitter leaf drank for two says since then no more itching and the rashes were gone.
Qh!
God abeg o.
Pls throw more light.
What kind of skin disease please?

I suffered the same thing my first year in Europe, it turns out it was just the water. Most Nigerians react to it initially before adapting, avoid direct sun light it helps to manage the itching.
Ok.

HealthHelp! My Body Itches Me Terribly. by Penkelems(op): 10:54am On May 07
In the last three days I haven't had good night rests due to persistent and uncontrollable itching on my skin.

Though, right from time I've always had itches from time to time, but not as severe as this one currently.

These few days have been hell for me, as I can hardly sleep at night.

Over the years, I used to take a particular drug for Filariasis. It's a tiny drug that is white in color and has the exact size of a Piriton tablet. I would take only two of it for three or so months. But since I left home, I haven't seen where I can go to get those drugs. At my former place of residence, I used to go to a Primary Health care centre to take it. The drugs weren't even allowed to be taken home, you have to swallow it right there. And you must not eat before going to take it. You go in the mornings, take it on an empty stomach and wait till 1pm before you eat. It's being over five years since I relocated to a new city and I don't know where I can get the drugs. The drug is Free, but you will have to pay for a Card there.

I don't bathe with Rain Water or boil water to bath during the harmattan season, to avoid the itching.

My arms, armpits, tommy, behind my neck, scrotum and pubic region itch. When I scratch, It get swollen a bit, then the swell disappears after a few minutes, sometimes I injure myself when I'm scratching. The painful part is it itches me even to my anus. Inside my anus, I have scratched and scratched and the place has become painful. I have to be extremely careful whenever I use the restroom and need to wash my nyash.

This has caused me a lot of discomfort. I'm really depressed. The fact that I'm going through a lot now, makes the whole thing really tormenting. I've always prayed that God should keep my health, so I don't get bedfasted for any reason, because if I'm unable to go to work and provide for myself, nobody will. I'm all I've got.

I really need your inputs here, my brothers and sisters. Health is wealth honestly.

Mods, please help move this to front page. I'm losing it already. It's frustrating.

Howfar na, you no talk about Keke today oh grin grin
I hope you won't start advising us not to do POS after you've already advised us to do it?... Like the way you misled us with your Keke business advice lol grin
The guy lies a lot. Always coming up with tales that are fictitious

Most likely network issue. You are a real Nigerian though, you jumped to conclusion immediately. You are unlikely to be scammed for such a small amount by someone whose residence you know.

This is going overboard.. you can just say he always has a sorry tale to tell each time.

I'm just wondering the time he has for anything else, dude is on every thread even when he claimed to be a Keke driver. grin
Bro, I'm sorry if I went overboard. Truth is, this guy lies a lot.
Just follow him here and you'll notice his constant lies.
On every thread here, it is either he's the first or second to comment. If you're trying to create a thread, after posting, and you choose to modify the post, he would have commented. A post of less than a minute, he will comment. I don't really know how he does that.
Do u know that he is always claiming to have firsthand experiences of every story posted here?.
God forbid, if you try to create a thread of how armed robbers came into your house to attack you and how u managed to escape, this same guy will make a comment of how he had similar experience earlier. Just come up with any story and see his comment.

He said he has stopped riding Keke, that he now sells Gas and does POS, so I wonder how he has all the time to be on this forum every time .

You see this his post, I swear it's all lies. Even if the event actually occurred like he wrote, he wasn't the one directly involved. This I'm sure about.

Do you think someone who lives close to you and knows you too well, would want to scam you through such means , especially considering the amount involved?

Duplex90:
this is not true it's network issues how can someone U know his house and your costumer try to scam u. I do this as well, ask a seller if he has extra cash for me if I transfer excess but I noticed that opay is having issues lately infact I have stopped transferring to opay for months now.
if a POS uses opay I don't patronize them coz u send the first it won't go or says unsuccessful then U do it again then they debit u twice.
this same thing did a guy I sent to his opay, if not he's my guy for years that's how he would say that i ve scammed him. when he saw me again he told me he didn't get the money and I checked and truely it didn't go and moniepoint didn't reverse me yet.
no use ur hand spoil ur business
That OP lies a lot. He's a habitual liar honestly.
