Skin is sensitive to contact with clothing, which produces a chilly creeping sensation (3). A chronic itching, which has been a little annoying at times, is materially aggravated; it is felt only in the arms and legs (9). The itching of the arms and legs very much increased; small thickly studded elevations, which bleed after scratching; scratching aggravates to such a degree as to be almost unbearable (3). The itching of the arms and legs has been so persistent during the day, but more particularly when undressing at night, and often when in bed, that nothing but severe rubbing with a hard, coarse, prickly instrument, tearing off the cuticle, and converting the itching into a soreness, would give the slightest relief. This chronic itching of the skin, but only in a slight degree, I have, at times, experienced as long as I can remember, but never was such raking necessary to allay the itching, which was intolerable without it. The itching is very severe in the evening, and often when in bed. The itching remained unabated for several weeks after the last medicine was taken.
