I have not had a drink in 2 months and about 3 weeks ago I started itching all over and nothing seems to help does this normally happen after quitting drinking

Hi Spanky - welcome

yeah it happens to some people but not everyone- have you considered seeing a doctor?

Not fun but much better than drinking. I'd take Dee's advice.

Hi Spanky and welcome to SR.

I've been itchy for years. Quit drinking 7 months ago and it got a little worse for a while. After a few months it started getting better and now I'm feeling pretty good. Dry skin lotion helped when it was worse.

I agree with Dee, check in with your doc if it concerns you, specially if it gets worse.

Yup. Get a health check up. Lots of things can cause chronic itching that has nothing to do with alcohol. My mother gets it. She doesn't drink and never has. She is protein and vitamin deficient and won't change her diet or take vitamins. She's 90. She won't change her mind. She just complains about being itchy.
