   When my liver started to become severely weakened the first sign was rashes and itchings in the backs of my knees and inside the arms that eventually spread to other places.

   Probably reacting allergically to meds or a lotion or the chlorine/fluoride that is being re-absorbed through the skin after the hot water washes out all the skin oils.

   IF I may let me explain why if I were you I would make the choice to look for "toxic-triggers" and to reduce them in order to make the skin-organ stronger.

   In the past I also have had many problems with asthma and with skin rashes and itchings. I have learned that all the things that trigger these problems are very very toxic to everyone’s health and I have learned to ‘run’ from them.

   I also ‘eventually’ learned that my nutrition was below what it needed to be, so that I could easily have an allergic reaction to something that was toxic, AND my skin and/or lymph and/or kidney and/or liver organs were not strong enough to deal with it quickly, so the rash/itchings were a continual ‘warning.’

   I have since learned that better nutrition will make the skin and ‘purifying’ organs stronger in order that they can more easily deal with toxins that we all might have a hard time identifying and running from. (Google browse: “Pellagra-Wikipedia”)

   I know this from my own experiences with myself and others since these were also my triggers and when we are all under stress we usually consume-apply things that are more toxic to us, whether alcohol, cigarettes, pharmaceuticals, or eating too many calories or high- glycemic calories from carb-sugar-starches.

   Toxins include chlorine and fluoride in the drinking and shower water, or pesticides preservatives nitrates chemicals synthetics or enrichments in foods, or pharmaceuticals you have consumed or applied on your skin, or molds or smoke or aerosols.

   I hope you learn your triggers and make the choices to become stronger.

   IF you are interested, I feel I have become an expert on rashes and pruritus itchings after many years of off and on flare ups. So to do my part to make a difference in the world I now take a little time each week to help others understand why better nutrition is so important, and I have posted much of my own story via the link at: <> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091016160457AAkysKW

   food allergies are common, but usually you’ll have bumps or lesions.

   there are psychological conditions that can make your skin itchy and that sounds likely in your case. a friend in college had that problem – formication was the medical term meaning "like ants are crawling on you."

   I have had skin problems for my whole life.
   Do you have any pets? like dogs or cats. or are you around animals a lot because that could be causing the problem.
   Or you could be allergic to the body wash you use in the shower or shampoo or perfume etc.
   It could be a lot of different things.
   I would go to a dermatologist ASAP
   Hope this helps!
