    Whole body itching - terrified of lymphoma

    For the past 3 days I’ve been itching all over and unfortunately I googled (I know) and now I’m terrified it’s lymphoma.

    it’s a very frustrating itch it lasts a split second I’ll scratch it and then it will move to another part of my body and it will keep going all day non stop.

    I have no allergies, I haven’t changed lotions or detergents or anything like that.

    Most common causes are dry skin and allergies, but allergic reactions can happen at any time, even if we've never had allergies before. (try going "sensitive" on anything that comes into contact with your skin)

    However, it's worth noting that anxiety is also a common cause of this type of symptom...

    When I had my breakdown (anxiety) my skin itched and burned with no visible rash or colouring...
