Good morning to all of you who have been looking for a better solution to neuropathic itch. I may have found one. My dermatologist just returned from the national Dermatological convention. She brought back some samples of a new topical medication for what I call the neuropathic itch. This weekend I put it through its paces. I first rubbed a topical that always creates itch on my hands. Within a few hours evidence of the itch was creating blotches on my wrists and the itch had started. I scratched a bit (couldn't resist even though I know it creates inflamation) and then covered the area with this new product. It took about 15 minutes and then the itch feeling began to dissapate. After about 30 minutes, the itch was gone.
My freedom from the itch lasted about 6 hours. I reapplied the product right before bedtime and there was no evidence of the itch overnight. No bloody marks on the pillow from scratching. After my shower, I could feel a few itches returing so I reapplied the product. This morning there is no evidence of itch on my skin and I am free of the problem at least for now. I know that this success is temporary and the next flare is probably just around the corner. However.......I appreciate the immediate relief.
I want to give you the link to the site. The product is named Dermeleve. It is a Steroid Free itch relief product from Advanced Derm Solutions, LLC @dermeleve.com. Dermeleve® with SrX-38™ steroid-free formula is absorbed rapidly into the skin where it significantly reduces the sensation of itch and prevents inflamation
The science includes the following content:
Ceramides: Lipid-rich molecules which retain moisture and promote skin cell regeneration.
Hyaluronic acid: Promotes cell proliferation and healing.
Vitamin C&E: Promotes skin health.
Shea butter: Helps retain moisture.
This is a private company and their product appears to have the ability to control itch safely, quickly and effectively....not forever but for right now.
May you all be free, protected and safe from inner and order harm.
Chris
