Brachioradial pruritus. (severe itching on forearms and neck, no rash).

Does anyone know of this. I think its rare but does exist. My neurologist does not know about this. I have compression between my c5 and c6 cervical disk and have had alot of sun damage to my skin.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Skin Health Support Group.

Wow. It does act up more at night too..and it can be worse on one side at times than the other.
I do believe putting iice pack can help however if it's convenient.
It's very annoying..can a strong antihistamine help? My doc gave me Atarax. I had that for hives years ago and it was the only thing that helped

I write this for my wife who in addition to the BRP she has also lost most of her sight.
According to her she is in constant itch and pain, 24 hours a day. Nothing has really helped, the CAPSACIN HP and the Enbrel relieve it somewhat. but that is it. Since she has lost most of her vision she has to rely on other senses. Some medications that had been recommended over the years dulled her senses and made her feel like in a fog. Been to 4 different Dermatologists, an Allergist, a Neurologist, Acupuncturist, whats left. Years ago I heard about a study that was going on in Eujope, Maybe Denmark not sure. I contacted the Dr but since she was so far away she did not want to comment on anything. I understood.
