Oh, I've dealt with the anxiety itches before.  They stuck.  Just talking about them made me scratch my scalp!

What you're dealing with is an abundance of cortisol wreaking havoc in your CNS.  That can cause widespread, indiscriminate itching.  Getting your anxiety under control will 100% make it go away.

You're gonna be fine 🙂

Thank you so much.  Did yours jump from place to place. Even when my clothes touch my skin in places it starts to itch.  My scalp even my nose.

Hello and Yes I itched and itch all over and the more I would and do scratch the more I will itch..  Head, Face , arms , hands , legs ..

I will get itchy hives and scratch and this makes them worse . I calm down the hives and itching will subside. Our skin is very sensitive we that deal with mental health- anxiety and panic will deal with so many symptoms and one is itching.

Now I will say that I did develop dermatitis due to stress which is worse then itchy skin symptoms but nothing serious i am using lotion and special shampoo for it and it is getting better.

Try and not Google it only makes things worse and the more we think the more we will itch and scratch and worry it is something horrible.
