itching = lymphoma?

[thismightbezach]

I'm in such a panic. I have a very mild itch all over my body. I don't have a rash or bug bites.

One second it's on my scalp and the next it's on my arm. it keeps jumping from place to place. I read itching is a sign of Hodgkins lymphoma.

Does anyone else have itching for no apparent reason? I read about something called psychogenic itch, which is basically an itch caused by anxiety. I'm trying hard to convince myself that I have that and not the other thing. :weep:

Sometimes I just get itchy. If it annoys me a lot, then I take an antihistamine which usually helps.

You may want to check if you have new washing powder or shower gel.

If lymphoma were causing your itch, you would have plenty of other symptoms too.

HL itching is not a stand alone symptom of HL. Normally it is accompanied by night sweats and other symptoms. I am an HL survivor, so take my word for it.

You have to stop googling.
