Hemochromatosis: How do you deal with extreme itchiness?
My Mom has hemochromatosis and is getting phlebotomy to lower iron levels. However, she is extremely itchy. She uses benedryl gel and hydrocortisone cream. Does anyone else have any problem like this? Have you found any relief?

I have had great success using CereVe Itch Relief which contains pramoxine hydrocholoride and three essential ceramides.
I have had extreme itching for quite awhile, my doctor recommended applying coconut oil once or twice a day to arms, legs, shoulders, back after showering, and it seems to be really helping....she also said to stop using soaps. however I'm not sure what to use in the shower. so I need to ask her that. I will let you know what she proposes, if anyone hss any ideas please let me know.
