For the past couple of days, I've had the feeling of itchiness under my skin - mostly around my ribs and in my ears, strangely. I've immediately started assuming the worst, and while there have been a lot of stresses in my life lately (general anxiety flare-ups, a new rescue dog with some problematic behaviour who's been chasing my cat, very little sleep, and constant worry over the strong antibiotics I'm on) I can't seem to find any mention of this sort of itching as a symptom of anxiety. Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms? They're starting to scare me quite a bit, despite my best efforts to remain calm and look at this rationally!

Sorry no one is answering.

I have never felt itching under the skin. Personally, I would just give it a chance to subside without giving it mental energy. Sort of seems like a perception/ exaggerated interpretation of a sensation to me- that seems to be a big part of hypochondria.

Maybe give it 3 weeks and then revisit if you think you should see a doctor? G/L

Itching is most definitely one of the symptoms or manifestations of anxiety!
