does anyone itch when agitated or nervous

Post Reply New Topic

I have this weird thing where if i am really excited or my senses are heightented my underarms start to itch incessively....kind of like mosquito bites but once i have calmed down they go away....Does anyone have any ideas of what that may be??

I sweat massively. Don't itch. Do you itch at other times you sweat?

I might. I have noticed and certain drugs have reports of skin sensations as side effects. Like wellbutrin for example. It seemed to irritate my skin.

I notice this too if I'm stressed. I will start itching a bit. Usually my hair, arms and even body will get itchy. I don't sweat too often when I'm stressed.

I get this too, and have done for most of my life. I tend to itch on my neck and under my chin and sometimes in my scalp. I also sometimes itch on my writs and ankles and calves.

I used to get eczema in those areas, so I don't know if this is related? Perhpas the extreme anxiety or stress triggers some kind of physical manifestation to occur, and this happens in areas where I used to get eczema because they are particularly vulnerable or sensitive to irritation? I don't know.

It is interesting that you mention this though, as it was yet another thing that I assumed was just me being weird - it's good to know that I am not the only one who itches when stressed or anxious.

God, yes. When I am edgy or nervous or uncomfortable, I start itching really badly, especially on my back.
I noticed this when I was at a 'friend's home.
I just started itching like mad every time I was sat next to them to watch a film.

I seem to itch permanantley.

Either my mind is in a constant state of terror (which to some I would probably appear to be) or I have fleas.

Personally i'm hoping it's fleas, at least they're easier to treat...

Yes, me too. I'm relieved to see others get itchy scalp, not just me. Here's something I find enormously useful: mud/sulfur soap. It stops the itchies. I get it on eBay from NZ.

i sweat a lot as well

The same thing happens to me when I am stressed and sweating (due to humid weather or exercise).

I itch all over my body while trying to sleep.

I itch when I sim race, but only during races, never when I'm just practising.

I itch a lot when I'm agitated. I also get hives as well.

Agitated, yes. Usually, it's my head.
Nervous, no.
