Crawling Itching

Sorry to hear that, @cranky_granny .. you may be having a mild allergic reaction?  

Hubby itched with his early chemo in 2010 and we used cornflour on him!  Stand in the shower and rub it gently over the areas of concern,  in his case, his whole body!

Scratching the itch often just makes it itch even more. A vicious circle  :(   Does it itch more at night?  Do you have cotton gloves? Maybe wear them so you 'rub it' more than 'scratch it'?   

Then I'd run the shower later to clear it all. 

Good luck xx 

If it's somewhere affected by lymphoedema or previous surgery, watch out for cellulitis. Which is always a joy. I've had it start like that in my crappier arm. Early intervention is recommended.

Thanks ladies. The itch is settling so must be the Ibrance. Keeping cool seems to work. I will ask about the antihistamine though. As it will also help with the sinuses 

Had my oncology appointment now add antihistamine to my regular medication. I’m going to rattle

Oh, that is what I can hear ?  🤣🤣   (rattle rattle rattle).
At least you can now stop scratching and enjoy life.  💖
