Because of how bad it itches, all over head/face, my skins not that dry, my guess is that it is caused by meds. I looked up my meds and a couple mentioned possible itching. But non of my meds are new. Except an antibiotic, but its been over for a week now. Unless itching symptoms can start years into taking it. Greg
