Sounds as if it could be mistaken for psoriasis. I don't get any visible
signs where I'm itching. I used to consider it some sort of flee fobia
because it feels as if I get bitten but I get no marks and I never found any
flees. Especially my scalp itches and as a child I was forbidden to scratch.
That was tough.

I do get some sort of heat rash, though. Large parts on thighs, buttocks,
arms get red, spotty and very hot but it does not itch. I don't know what
that is and I'm greatful it does not appear on my face.
