Itchy Painful Skin
Does anyone find that your skin gets itchy and painful? The skin on the back of my hands appears to be getting very thin and it itches like crazy.

Yes! The tops of my hands and the tops of my feet itch terribly. I even itch them while Iβm sleeping creating scratches and bleeding. Ivy Rest is a topical cream similar to caladryl lotion except this has lidocaine in it to numb the itch. Try it!

One other thing you could explore is if the itching is linked to circulation problems. That seems to be the case for me. Physical therapy has helped me the most. Seems like a crazy cause and effect, I know.
Also, for burning, a little baking soda paste goes a long way (youβve prob tried that too). Sorry youβre itching so much! :/
Thanks for all your replies. Sorry to say but I have tried all your suggestions and I guess I was hoping for a miracle solution from someone. πππππ carry on!
