help my lower leggs itch so bad need some tips tried aveeno little help. p.s iam half way week 24,  when i get done tx i need some florida sunshine

[lackalustre]

i seem to be one of the only ones who did this while on treatment but i didnt have much skin problems on treatment.  i used pure lavender essential oils on any itchy spots and it did the trick.  it is also great for burns and will take the pain right out.

Gene me too.  It's my shins.  I can sit there and scratch to such satisfaction that I can break the skin if I let myself.  Then stinging afterwards.  Doc put on lotion called:
ARISTOCORT.  Only 1%, but then up it to the 2%.  Also helps with the patches of crusty skin on my stomach and back.  This I can scratch bloody too if I let myself

Ask your Doc for a Rx for Zyrtec.. That is what my doc gave me before hand, if I started to itch..A few others have stated that it immediately took away the itch. So far, week 21 and NO skin reactions.. Have not itched or anything.
But I lotion up heavily every night, and bathe in olive oil when needed.

Hmmm, the dog can't kick the mange huh?

[genedog]

cant kick it but i sure can bark at moon, snook i got your letter out to some good people in high places, dam i need some sunshine
