Night time itching ?

I've been increasingly itchy at night.
Small itchy bumps on my arms.

[b]I'm certain I don't have bed bugs [/b]as I have checked 3 times on different days in the middle of the night.

I washed my bedding a few weeks ago.

I've been using itch cream nightly for about a week.
Seems to be getting worse.

Thoughts, suggestions?

Have you switched soap/shampoo/laundry detergent etc? Have you eaten something new? Are you getting enough water? It’s likely environmental. I go through periods like this when my skin is more sensitive than other times. Usually I’ll take an antihistamine and it goes away

@Jenny1234 I haven't eaten or tried any new products, I get enough water.
It's mostly at night that I start this itching. It's annoying and it's keeping me up

@iamnikki are you getting enough moisturizer on your skin?

@Jenny1234 um maybe. I'll make sure to do so tomorrow

@iamnikki there are some moisturizers that work really well for itchy/sensitive skin. My son has always had really sensitive skin and has had good luck with a few different ones his dermatologist recommended : Eucerin, Aveeno for eczema, and O’keefe’s itch relief body cream.
