Has anyone experienced itchy forearms, from elbow to wrist, no reason?

I get it bad lately and I've been on Tik Tok a lot more than usual. I'm wondering if it might be linked with holding a phone in a poor ergonomic position and causing poor blood flow or unusual pressure on nerves in the hand or wrist?

Yes the itching is so severe so freaking bad I want to cut my arm of nothing Hangouts but I've it's awful affects my whole life I hated it I hate it

Omg yes 18 years ago started after I quit smoking, the itch so intense so severe I scratch makes my arms bleed, nothing helps only ice only ice no crammed work I got a cream once that was 300 dollars with steroids in it that helped but ran out of it years, it will flare up for away lately it's gotten so so much worse no help

I was diagnosed with brachioradialis pruritus - basically really bad itching of my forearms. Really strange. It came on suddenly and I was told it was from a neuropathy in my neck. My doctor recommended capzacin cream, which didn't do much. At night, I would use ice packs so I could get to sleep.
A friend then told me about something called PEA, which is a fatty acid compound that can calm irritated nerve endings. I found a product called Canabrex, which are over-the-counter capsules that I started taking and within a few days, the itching totally stopped. When I stopped taking the Canabrex, it started again. So, I am back on it... and I"m planning to stay on it. Pretty good - no side effects and easy to take.

I started with something similar just yesterday! I was at the doctor for my annual checkup and just had blood drawn for tests, nothing out of the ordinary. When I got to the office my left forearm and wrist were itching like mad! It also seems worse like almost sort of painful when I try and write something (I'm left-handed). I bought the cortisone 10 cream tried that, nope. Today I went on my lunch hour and picked up an anti-itching spray and some soft wrapping gauze because if I wrap it after putting on the cream or spray, it helps a little and the stuff on my arm doesn't get all over everything. I also bought witch hazel to wipe down first before I put on the cream, spray and the gauze wrap. Out of the blue! Driving me crazy! I live in WI so there is no "danger" of too much sunlight! LOL! Any answers or info is much appreciated!

I have had this problem for the last several weeks after donating blood on Christmas Eve - the phlebotomist had a problem inserting the needle in my right arm and that's exactly the arm where the itching is taking place, it seems so strange that only one arm is affected, suspected an allergic reaction to something but anything internal/external would probably affect both arms - after reading these responses it seems I might have the "exotic" condition described, sometimes caused by a pinched nerve. Does anyone know if this condition will heal itself, like everybody says, it comes and goes, very irritating and frustrating with only minor relief from creams? thanks!

I had an itchy forearm that was not relieved by scratching. My doctor prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonide + coconut oil. It started to work (somewhat) immediately but kept getting better and after a couple of weeks it was completely gone.

The note above is me to a tea. I have problem it's been for two or three months now..

I have had this now about 4 years only occurs in the fall. 1st year I was miserable tried everything aloe, lotions, even saw my chiropractor and doctor with no relief. Thank god it only lasted 1 month. Only relief were ice packs I bought a long sleeved summer button up shirt with UV ray protection the cause for my problem was the sun. I have to put on 100% sun tan lotion cream on my arms. The sprays cause me to itch more. I cut the sleeves off a long blouse just to slip on my arm when I’m driving so I don’t get sun exposer on my arm. Next couple of years no problem at all now this fall it is back again but not as bad as the first year. I was a little lax on the sun tan lotion this year. So I guess I’m going to have this problem the rest of my life and have accepted it I keep a tubes of Neutrogena 100% sunscreen in my car ,my purse and on my patio.

Get your doctor to prescribe Triamcinolone Acetonide cream (verify with your pharmacist that it must be by prescription). Rub it on your forearm, then rub just regular coconut oil over that. With me there was some relief right away, but it took a few days to take full effect. In the meantime (as strange as this may sound) wash the affected area with Caress soap.

Try Sarna cream. I use the purple one (no menthol). Seems the only thing that helps me, apart from Benadryl tablets. Nights are particularly bad.

Hi there . I'm 37 and also have chronic itching which has been driving me insane.
Started about 3 years ago normally in warmer conditions. (I live in the uk so this is not often) .
It always appears on my right forarm only between my wrist and elbow.
I take anti histamine every day to try and stop it.
I've never been stressed and I'm not on any medications, my arm has never been damaged in anyway apart from when I scratch it to death.
The only thing that can soothe it is a really cold or frozen compress.
Has anyone found a solution to this.
Please tell me, its driving me insane and comes as and when it likes.
Thank you.
James

I get a few hours relief using a mixture of silcocks base with 6 drops of black pepper oil and 5 drops of lavender oil use about one third of a small tub of silcocks base mix well and apply dont know if this will work for anyone else but maybe worth a try be interested to hear back

I'm a 68 year old male, and have had itchy forearms for about 35 years. It comes and goes, sometimes the right, sometimes the left, sometimes neither, sometimes both. When I was younger I used to scratch until it bleed, without relief. I have not found a doctor or treatment to stop it.

I've noticed that exposure to the sun seems to bring it on. I try to remember to put on sun screen and limit my exposure. Once I start itching, I use a lidocaine or cortisone cream or roll on, and just wait it out.
