Can chronic itching be caused by Neuropathy

Rosebud, I have peripheral neuropathy but so far (2 years) only my feet. The last couple weeks my scalp, forehead, temples and upper lip have started itching. I’m wondering if that’s how your itch started out? Saw dermatologist and he saw nothing and said he’s not heard of neuropathy causing itching. He gave me a cream, Ketoconazole, which seemed to calm the itching for that evening but not so much today. Is that how yours started? Appreciate any response and sure do appreciate Connect.

Yes it can ich like he'll at times. I have heard that an ich can be considered a low level pain response of the body. I have SFN and I know that feeling. I have not found a good treatment yet. I take Lyrica and have a medical marijuana card in my state.
