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?

Do you think you might have some kind of contact dermatitis? You might want to use soaps which have no dyes or perfumes. Also, don't use any scented laundry soaps or perfumed dryer sheets. Your diet could play a part, too. No caffeine might help. Instead of the itch cream, you might try a moisturizing skin cream, like Cera/ve. It does a better job on my eczema than the topical corticosteroid the dermatologist prescribed.

I hope you can pin down the cause, and feel better soon.
