    At night things seem to get worse right around bed time. I even woke last night crazy ichy. I'm even using Bio oil all over. I bought antifungal cream even though I know it's not the issue.

    I went through the itchy thing also. My PA suggested taking a benadryl tablet, which I did for a couple of days before bed and it went away. I tend to get really itchy if i am working out and I sweat. So after a workout it is shower and benadryl.

    I am about 6 weeks out and my skin is peeling like I had a sunburn but I haven't. Is this odd?

    If your uric acid levels are off it makes your skin itchy and flaky...mine are really high so I am always itchy..also anything going on with your liver can make itchy skin

    Just talk to your doctor and make sure that's not the case...
