Last summer I had some evening where my skin was itching. Then I cooled myself with a fan and the itching stopped? I do not know if the cool air changed the feeling in my skin or if my relaxing caused the itching to stop? I know if the feeling was going to start I had a solution to stop the itching. I did find some good scratches on my leg every so often but no bleeding.

Hi Ryan:) Could be a plethora of reasons, aside from CLL, that is causing the ithcing (allergic reaction to something (new soap, animals, new medication, food, detergent, etc etc). Maybe consider seeing a dermatologist or even your primary care physician to obtain their input? I have itching in the back of my neck/head at night and it is caused by psoriasis. I use a natural salve that has calendula and beeswax in it and it works immediately so I do not awake at all during the night.

I was having that problem with itchy hands and arms and my Oncologist put me on ZYRTEC which is an antihistamine and I only had to use it so far a couple of times and the itching is gone.
