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.

For some unexplained reason my brachioradial pruritus symptoms subsided on 3/23. I purchased a bottle of moringa oil per the recommendation from another blogger. My itching almost disappeared for about 10 days. I live in Florida and took a road trip to Chicago where the itching started up again. But, not nearly as severe. I continue to use the moringa oil and it does help. Give it a try.
I’m getting to the point I will try anything to get some relief. I live in the Uk. So knowing my luck I won’t able get it. Thanks for your help.wot was you putting in your arms in the sun Florida really hot compared to us here. I found a sun cream zinc solbar 38 it helps me.
Just let you know I found the moringa oil from Amazon get it 2 morra. So fingers crossed it helps
You can order it on line. Make sure it's 100%.
Good luck.
I have had Brachioradial Pruritis for 5 years now. It is a horrible condition that affects every part of my life. Doctors won't acknowledge this condition, they think this is a psychosomatic disorder. I have tried many creams and lotions including a compounded medication amitriptyline/gabapentin/ketorolac/ , which is moderately effective. Ice is always used as last resort. I have been under chiropractic care with cervical adjustment which seems to help. I would like to try an injection but no doctor will do it. Is there anybody that has had any relief? Are there any doctors that are willing to try to alleviate this horrible problem? Please Help!

Hello, has anyone seen a doctor (i.e. Neurologist and/or a Physiatrist) at the Mayo Clinic anywhere for this chronic itching of forearms that will only subside with the use of ice? It is awful, I have had it for years and multiple doctors (primary, multiple dermatologists, neurologist, have not been able to figure it out or help). Thank God for ice, but I would love to see if there is anything that can cure it, or make the episodes at least subside any amount.
Hi @karynhorsy and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am glad you can relieve it with ice, but how awful to itch constantly.
You will see that I moved your post to an ongoing discussion with over 50 pages of members talking about Brachioradial pruritus. I did this so you can connect with others who have it and have suffered like @anne12, @help22, and @dave8284
Have your doctors checked for Spinal problems that compress nerves affecting the arms that can lead to brachioradial pruritus?
