Here are some links to Medical based websites on the subject of Aquagenic Pruritus that site Beta Alanine as a treatment, so if your dermatologist or any other doctor has looked into it, they would find the information.
I have belonged to a FB Groups for Aquagenic Pruritus for 8+ years and based on members posts, I would estimate that 99% of dermatologist have no clue.
I have been taking this for 7 years, usually 2 to 3 times per day. I have not had any issues with Beta Alanine. It is a amino acid found in our bodies...maybe I have a deficiency and that is why it works?? Who Knows...I'm just glad it works.

Thank you for the link. I have a referral to see a dermatologist in the future. While I’m pretty sure that water is not the cause of my itching, perhaps Beta Alanine would be beneficial. I’ll have to look into it.
