Hello. I’ve had relatively little itching since I started HU about five years ago. Curiously, my right shoulder blade area is where it happens most often and my hands were giving me problems. The backs of my hands would develop little pinpoints like tiny scabs and they would begin to itch like crazy. And my nails, never good, just started splitting and breaking no matter what I did. Then I tried Naturewell Retinol Cream. It sounds like they are paying me (not) but it is amazing. Sam’s sells it at a great price and it’s a little more on Amazon.
Since I started using it nightly, my hands are completely itch free and my nails have stopped cracking and breaking. Very little of the stuff goes a long way. It feels lovely and I’ve started using it as a body lotion. I had tried a very expensive crème recommended by the MD, the oatmeal lotions and nothing worked until this. Maybe try it and see if it works.
