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!

At your suggestion, nohrt4me, about a month ago I started taking loratadine (generic Claritin) every day. It has really helped with 1) itchy skin and 2) ease of breathing.

And at my December appointment, the oncologist raised no objection to loratadine.

Lowering our histamine reaction is worth trying!

Of course it's best to check with your own doctor! Having ET means we can't be casual about even OTC medications.
