    I've heard it referred to as the "phantom tingle." It happens to lots of people: stomach, behind the knees, under the arms.

    I had no idea this had to do with weight loss! =o
    All last week, I kept having to scratch behind my knees! It itched like crazy!

    Often, people see red blotches behind the knee. It's definitely associated with fat loss.

    Wow so that is what that itch is? I remember having intense itching around my underarms and I remember seeing red blotches and not having any clue where it came from
