Good evening @risebud and others who are discussing "neuropathic itch". My entire life for the last three years has revolved around the "itch". Thank goodness it is gone now thanks to twice-a-month injections of Dupixent. Previously I was struggling with itches and rashes from the atopic dermatitis initiated by face creams, shampoos, and even organic fumes. Even an Rx of Neosporin created a face rash. Let me start with the atopic dermatitis. That itch was always on the outside of my body, especially my arms, legs, and scalp. With my dermatologist, we tried many topicals and internals. I got new bedding, new clothes, and new towels, to go with new shampoo, new body and laundry soap.

I will attach some images so you can see what I am talking about. My face was very scary if I used sun tan lotions and other medications like Neosporin. So eventually, I truly thought I was free of exterior itching.

Then, I began having more itching within a couple of years of dealing with SFN, (small fiber neuropathy). There was no way to escape.....although I gave it a try. Scratching didn't help because the origin was interior. However, I still scratched the outside of my body and I spent one Christmas Eve in agony in the ER. My dermatologist even interrupted her vacation to direct available medical attention to help me another time. The interior itch also made me sick to my stomach and I would pass out. At times I just wanted to check out.

So.....there is a solution and you can check it out at http://www.dupixent.com. Don't hesitate to ask questions. I will help as much as is possible because I am not a medical practitioner. I shudder at the thought that you may be enduring a Neuropathic itch when there just might be a "cure".

May you be free of suffering and the cause of suffering.
