Although I am not happy to hear of your situation, I am happy to see I am not loosing my mind. I too have this invisible itch. It started about two weeks ago on the back of my neck. It started suddenly w/o cause. It seemed to spread a little more with each passing day. It now effects 3/4 of my body. I have been to the doctor and the ER and so far nothing. I itch profusely but see nothing. I have noticed small red spots in the morning that are flat and hard to see. They quickly go away but the itch lingers. My itch fades throughout the day and begins to return later into the night. I am sorry I dont have an answer for you but I am to see a allergist in the hope for one. If you have found out anything please let me know.

I have the same weird bumps I showed my doctor and he asked me "where? I don't see anything. when i scratch them they are really hard and feel like a scab , they will not scratch off . when i insisted to keep looking he perscribed triaminicolone lotion. but it is not helping it is spreading. Now it is on my back, upper arms, under my breasts and my side. If he would have got some gloves I think he would have felt them
