@deniseheart Thank you for the suggestion. My itching has been under control for several years, with only an occasional flare. It is usually during the summer when I have eaten too many tomatoes. I know it is coming and try to get ahead of it. However, the other day, I noticed that I was scratching my left hand. I immediately used some of my trusty cream, but I will definitely keep ice packs in mind the next time it flares up. Looking for non-medicinal approaches is always my goal. Have a wonderful day and thanks for reaching out.
