Doctor, I am 54 and have had "subcutaneous termites" in my upper arms, neck, upper dorsal areas, for 11 years. I have consulted 5 dermatologists, 4 physicians (2 neurologists), aromatherapists, naturopaths, homeopaths, gaggles of general practitioners (MDs), and NO ONE has been able to stop the incessant knawing away at my subcutaneous layer. I am set on seeing a neurosurgeon to isolate and terminate the nerve in my neck that tells my brain my skin is itching. I have had cortisone, creams, soaps, the entire gambit of medications, nothing works. No doctor has ever taken a blood test to determine the cause. I awake in the morning with skin under my finger nails from scratching during my sleep. I am going mad with this incessant, interminable itch. What is it?
