Does anyone have itching skin? It seems since I started antibiotics that my skin constantly itches. It is the worst on my neck (and my neck is always red even when I am not scratching it.) Lotions don't even touch it and when I was off the antibiotics it seemed to get worse--not better. Just thought I'd check to see if anyone else is experiencing this or knows what this could be caused from.

Hey there doll fin... love that name!
Itchy skin, eh? Could be a lot of things.. and I am NOT a doctor..
But have you considered...
Allergic reactions
Viral infections? They tend to do this exact thing.. and often give folks a "red-neck".
Yeast
Herxing
Again, I am not a doctor, but maybe your doc or the local pharmacist can help.
In the meantime.. I hope it lessens and gives you some relief.

Hi... back of my neck itches- I was diagnosed in August just finished doxy- so I'm new to this - my skin/ neck was itchy before I started antibiotic. Now it just seems to be back of neck - nothing relieves itch for me as well.
