Itching without a visible rash or minimal dry skin can indeed be related to chronic inflammation, especially in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Some people with RA experience itching due to related conditions such as rheumatoid vasculitis, which involves inflammation of blood vessels and can cause itchy skin. It's always best to discuss your symptoms with your rheumatologist or dermatologist to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.

Hi Deborah, have you started any new meds ? Many years ago I was prescribed Vicodin for pain after a surgery. The itching was intense. It felt like ants crawling under my skin 🤪 turned out I was allergic to Vicodin
