My itches are now eczema. Nothing works 100%. Aloe vera gel helps, needs to be reapplied every hour or so. Currently trying out EGO Eczema wash and lotion. So far it seems okay. Need to reapply a couple times then it lasts for a few hours. I have stopped the Perjeta but the eczema continues. Looks like I am stuck with it. I am on Herceptin long term. Let me know how you go.
