I agree with this person. Neuropathy certainly can cause itchiness. They even call it “neuropathic itch.”Your neurologist should know this. I suggest you find a new, experienced neurologist. When my itching starts I have to put on body lotion (fragrance free) right away when it starts. It usually subsides in a minute or two. If I don’t do it right away my itching can get severe and causes red areas under the skin which takes several days to clear up. Good luck.

Is the itching only where you have identified neurpathy?
