Crawling Itching
With this new regime of Ibrance and Armidex I’ve developed an annoying itch. Not sure what to use to get some relief i have telephone appointment next week. Don’t know if I’ll have any skin left by...
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
