Chronic itching, no response to various diets or skin treatments

fran0529, Have you tried an antihistamine like Zyrtec or Benadryl? Benadryl cream is good for itching as well. Aveeno Oatmeal soaks (these come in packets at Walmart or Amazon) in the tub are good for itching. Are you on a good probiotic for your gut issues? Candida can cause skin issues. Sounds like you are eating high protein and low carbs which is good. Curious, did you have COVID and did this come on after having COVID? Old Timey Corn Huskers Lotion (smells awful) helped me through at time of tremendous hives and itching. I am praying for you to get better.

Candida yeast occurs normally in the body, so technically you naturally have it. You can have a yeast overgrowth caused by antibiotics or a diet that has excessive sugar and carbs. I use yogurt and fermented products to help correct the symptoms.

Thank you for your comments, and questions. I have heard about Benadryl cream for another source as well, and will give it a try. I have not yet tried the Aveeno OatmeaI soaks so I will try them as well. I have not yet had COVID thank God. I will pray for you as well.
