I have neuropathic itching started in scalp and is now all over my body 24-7 since January 2025. I had Covid that caused viral encephalitis in hospital x 30 days had seizure when admitted to hospital and damaged my right cognitive brain damage. Benadryl helps with some of the itching but still there and now have a dry mouth and lips from that. I was given nalprexone low doss. Was given by skin group but he refuses to prescribe again. Cerave itch cream very little relief. Please help!

Try over the counter sensitive Sarna lotion & Vanicream lotion; they both work for me. Hope these are helpful to you.

With the itching, dry mouth do you have dry eyes ? If so ask about Sjögren’s syndrome
