How Do You Deal With Severe Itching?

Emu oil mixed with a good creme or lotion. A little goes a long ways, and it's wonderful, not greasy, or smelly, softens skin, relieves the itching, healing.

My late husband's skin became very dry, probably due to chemo and his declining health. The prescribed med was useless. Each time I bathed him, I used Cetaphil creme and Emu oil. Drs and nurses commented on his great skin condition.πŸ‘

Walmart Equate brand is the equivalent to Cetaphil. I used Emu Gold brand oil, a USA brand, expensive, but, lasts a long time, and was worth it.
There may be a cheaper equivalent.??

Check with a pharmacist/Dr to be sure you can use the products.

Oh, yes. I thought it was a "me, I'm weird" thing. I'm scratching myself all over my body aaaaallll the time. My mom always says "itchy again?" and then I look down when I just scratched myself and I see the red marks I left. My skin gets so red and bumpy after lol just before seeing this question I was scratching my head and my leg!
