This topic is about someone who has been experiencing persistent, intense itching all over their body, particularly on their arms, legs, and back, after having ostomy surgery. They are seeking advice and wondering if this could be related to their ostomy. Here are some insights and suggestions shared by others:

1. **Medication Check**: Some medications, like morphine-based pain relievers, certain anesthetics, and withdrawal from Prednisone, have been linked to widespread itching. Changing or stopping these medications helped some people.

2. **Hair Loss**: For those experiencing hair loss, a hair supplement called Perfectol was mentioned as helpful in reducing hair clumping.

3. **Topical Relief Options**:
- Hawaiian Tropic Sunburn Gel with Lidocaine for numbing the skin.
- Daily use of aloe vera cream.
- Absorbase, a prescription emollient.
- Desonide ointment, a low-strength steroid.
- Over-the-counter cortisol or cortisone cream.
- Witch hazel, cider vinegar, or simple moisturizing creams.

4. **Systemic Antihistamine**: Oral Benadryl provides partial relief but may work slowly. Benadryl cream can sometimes help.

5. **Possible Internal Causes**:
- Abnormal potassium levels, whether high or low, could be a factor. It's a good idea to have an electrolyte panel checked.
- Poor nutrient absorption is common in ostomates, so monitoring vitamins and minerals is important.
- Food allergies, such as to excess oranges, and general medication allergies could be contributing.
- Stress was also mentioned as a potential trigger.

6. **Practical Tips**:
- Keep your skin well-hydrated.
- Be aware of weather-related dryness.
- Try one remedy at a time to see what works.
- Collaborate with a dermatologist and your ostomy care team to rule out any systemic issues.
