Arrrr...cant stop itching! Anyone else??

[emma-louise]

Can't stop itching....I've been like this for the past couple of days.
And it'd getting on my nerves!!!
I'm like a flea bitten dog,luckily I'm not scratching hard to cause marks.
It's more of a nuisance at the moment.
I don't suffer from any skin problems so just wonder if it's a sign of anything??
I'm not sure.. Any advice anyone

Take a shower and cool off if you feel hot. Try a Piriton or antihistamine Angel... see if it may help you, if not book in to see your doc... may be a good idea anyway, but an antihistamine may relieve it for now... Have you changed your soap or detergents recently... I'm very sensitive to changes of washing detergents.

Love and hugs precious..

I've had this problem a lot since my BP. Most of the time for no reason, but I have noticed some meds contribute to it. I usually just take antihistamine.

I take an antihistamine regularly since having this with diabetic side effects... it helps... but it's a good thing to see your doc... precious... thinking of you xxx

Hi Carole,

Had all my levels checked about 4 weeks ago and was ok,so u say it's my skin just changing?
Do u know a good moisturiser?
Or did u get out from doctors?
Problem is I'm a bit funny about going doctors as I'm on so many tabs,they must think I'm a pain!!..lol

Ask your docs for Dermol I find it invaluable,you can use it as a washing creme or as a moisturiser,Its for itchy skin problems.You can wash intimate areas too!Maz

 

[emma-louise]

I've got bio oil in so should really be using that more, just tend to find it greasy at times.

Lanzoprazole can cause itching, as can forceval. Your gp should be able to tell you if it is a side effect, allergy or something else. There are alternatives for both so worth a doctors appt rather than just putting up with it.

Are you taking codeine? Since my surgery I can't take it as it causes itching.
