On another thread about itchy skin, our incredible monitor Lori suggested trying Dove for Sensitive Skin and Aveeno Oatmeal Body Wash. Cetaphil products were recommended too.
Hope you find something that works for you!

I take Desloratadine, an antihistamine for the itching and it works great. For dry skin on the feet, I use Urea Cream. I rotate using various creams/lotions for dry skin but always come back to Cetaphil lotion. I take HU, 500 mg 4x week. Dry skin and dry eyes are my main issues. I use Refresh over the counter for my eyes, along with Restasis. Managing okay at age 71. I've been ET/Jak2 for 2 years.

Yes, Dove Sensitive for me. Aveeno is good. They also have a hydrocortisone cream, tho I try not to use that too much. I also use Vanicream products--shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. Fragrance free. They work well. I take Claratin every day + Benadryl at night sometimes. It's a constant battle though, I get it!
