Remedy for Itchy Skin?

I just moved to a house that has well water and I have become extremely itchy. I have not changed laundry detergents or body wash or shampoo. I have always had city water and have never had this problem before. I thought it might be fleas, but I sprayed.

I have used benadryl and a medicated ointment for itchiness and nothing helps. I am about to go insane. I have no clue what could be making me itch. I am starting to think I might be allergic to well water, lol. That sounds pathetic I know. Please help.

Maybe the water there is hard and you need a water softener installed.

I am wondering if the water you have is very hard, and that it is dry skin that is making you itch, rather than an allergic reaction. If medications such as benadryl do not help, I suspect it is not an allergic reaction. You should have your water tested; I believe this is done by public health.

On the other hand, it might not have anything at all to do with the water. It might be something like scabies. This is a very common thing, and you might have no idea where you came in contact with it. I had this experience myself. Perhaps your next move is to see a doctor.

Have u had your well water tested? We were looking at a house, looked in the well...dead animals were floating in it. U dont know what kind of things could be in the well. We got the best water purifier we could get
