About a week ago my back/arms started itching.
It comes and goes, but it's so bad it's actually painful- it feel like really bad sunburn, you know, a burning feeling.

I'd just like to say, I'm not sunburned.

I also had a little constipation about 2 days ago, but took fibre supplement and that's gone now.
Just in case they are linked.

I haven't eaten anything strange recently, and my skin looks completely fine (Except for red marks where I took a fork to it).
Scratching and Sudocream don't work (Although a fork stops it for a few seconds).

I'm a 14 year old male, 5 ft 7 in, I haven't been stabbed or shot or anything, and have no cuts (Except a little scar on my right arm from 10-12 years ago)

Please help!
I'm thinking of going to a doctor it's that bad.
This could be a fungal infection of the skin or an allergy to something. If it looks kind of dried out and like the skin is sticking up a bit, this is a sign of a fungal infection. If so, it can be easily treated with antifungal creams. However, I do suggest you see the doctor in case of this, as well as talking about possible allergies.
