I was diagnosed with hep c 2 yrs ago and haven't began tx but i know i need to get ready but am afraid i won't be able to work from the side effects and doctor appts. etc. I have always had dry skin but not to the point off scratching so much that I break the skin and it is mostly on lower legs and back.
Thanks

NEUTROGENA T-GEL. ON THE BOTTLE IT SAYS "FOR ITCHY SCALP"
LOVE LOVE THIS STUFF!! LEAVE IT ON FOR ABOUT 10 MIN OR SO, IT WORKS SOOOOO WELL!!!.
Try using T-GEL anti dandruf "daily care".
I also had the same sx. I'm 5 months post tx and I sometimes get itchy for a day and then it's gone. I would think it has to do with the meds.

Hey thanks everybody!
Yes, I've tried the T-Gel Neutrogena Super Extra Strength and it really only works for about 1 day. I'm making an appt. for a dermatologist. This will just not go away.
I stppedTX in July. I didn't really have this when I was on TX.
I was wondering if anyone had the same condition and had some magic solution. Oh well.
Back to the "I don't know" Doctors.
Thanks everybody for your comments and support!

I have info (on my medication info form) that suggests that psoriasis, which is what it sounds like you have, can form as a sx of treatment. It is common on the scalp. In the info I have it suggests that the onset of psoriasis can be a sign of autoimmune problems...I would get it checked out by your specialist if I were you... I have slight scalp itching and will be mentioning it to my specialist on Friday, just to be sure. Hope this helps.
