What do you do for Neuropathy itch?

Hey there @krobbersstad, this is very interesting. You have been told that you are not reacting positively to allergens. It is interesting that temperature is a factor for you and if I understood correctly is one that currently is causing your body to react. I also had an outbreak begin today on my right arm. It's been a while since that has happened.

Do you think that stress is a factor? Can you remember being "attacked by the itch" during a time of stress or when there was a decision to be made, or an incident to be tolerated and put to bed? I had a TKR (total knee replacement) in August. From the time I got home from the surgery center up until right now, I have had unbelievable outbreaks and have found that my life has revolved around the itch outbreaks but only on the surgery leg.....not on the non-surgery leg. I am using tacrolimus (the ointment) twice a day to try to keep it under control. So....is that because of some surgical medications that interacted with my itch generating cells? I have an appointment with my dermatologist next week to see what we can figure out.

One final question.....what do you mean when you say that it's Neurological and not allergies? I would appreciate learning more about what you have read.

So I am using the OTC Allegra every day which helps with the arms but this leg is driving me C-R-A-Z-Y.

Let's stay in touch...you have lots of experience which can help others. And that is what Connect is all about.
Thanks for sharing......

Chris…did you see my reply yesterday to Krobberstad regarding using Beta Alanine to control itch?

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.

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.

John......thank you for laying it out for everyone. I am pretty excited about this as you can tell. The response that stops the itch is prompt and any time I can get 6 hours without the itch is heavenly. So....yes it is temporary and that is o.k. I did have time to use a second dose and my "sample itch" is now gone for good. This will become a "don't leave home without it" medication for me.

I used this cream for my brachioradial priritus and it does work. The only bad thing is comes in such a small amount. I will reorder.
Thank you.
