Welcome @sfehmida42, I did a search of Connect and found many members discussing pruritis. I thought it might be helpful for you to scan through the related member discussions and posts to see if you find anything that helps while you wait for other members to respond. Here's the search with links to the different discussions and member posts - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/.
Have you talked with your doctor to see if they may have some suggestions to provide some relief?

@johnbishop I’m a doctor myself working as a general practitioner. I’ve seen the neurologist as well and I’m on medication also with no relief so far

@johnbishop
I had shingles of the face and eye a year and a half ago. The cornea was cleared up but I got postherpetic neuralgia . I have an itch on the right side of my face and scalp It burns at times I am on 600 mg of gabapentin. The neurologist recently renamed it with puritis at the end. It is a little better bit acts up at night and I scratch it causing sores on my scalp. Any suggestions for relief. I was on pregablin also. I was on 1800 Mg of gabapentin at one point but weened myself off of it
