What do you do for Neuropathy itch?

I’ve had terrible itching on my body for years. Maybe an early symptom? This sounds strange but if you have a Bath and Body Works near you, buy the Twisted Peppermint Lotion they sell at the holidays. Besides the wonderful scent there is some ingredient that decreases the itch tremendously. My husband even tried it for something and he couldn’t believe how it helped. I’ve tried many over the counter lotions and this by far is the best.

Good evening @kyc117, I am so bummed that you have to deal with itching. You ask....maybe an early symptom? What are you thinking that itching might be indicating? The Bath and Body Works solution isn't half-cocked. I remember someone else mentioned that product several years ago.
Unfortunately, my itching seems to have a lot to do with emotional stress.......as I have begun tracking the beginning of itching incidents....they all seem to be set off by a fear, an omission, a regret, a sorrow, and sometimes a sadness. I do have some amazingly good Rx solutions. The new Sarna topical (Sensitive) was just introduced and my dermatologist let me know that I should try it because it has a special new ingredient. She was right and it does help more than the old one did.
So....we tumble along....looking for relief....trying to control what I call the "onslaught". Stay in touch, stay calm. I am here for you.
May you have comfort and ease.
Chris
