Hello from one of your "peeps". Welcome to Connect. I am also very glad you found the open door that can introduce you to folks who have walked in your shoes and ventured down the path you are seeking to help you eliminate the issues of Dermatolographia and itching that are concerning you.

Using the Mayo Clinic site for help, I found this "if the condition is severe or bothersome, you may get help from antihistamine medications such as Benadryl, Allegra or Zyrtec." Have you found any of these OTC medications helpful? How about Allegra? I take one a day for my "neuropathic itch" and you are taking four. That sure seems like a lot. I have also used Benedryl and Zyrtec at the beginning of my skin problems that can include heavy itching and scratching.

I will be anxious to hear about your visit to the Allergist. Will you please share the outcome with me? Last month my dermatologist brought back a new anti-itch specimen sample from a conference she attended. It is called Dermeleve. You can simply use it topically and for me, it works within 15 minutes and lasts for approximately six hours.

Do you think something like Dermeleve would be helpful? You can go to dermeleve.com or place "Dermeleve" in
the search box at the top of this page. That will take you to my introduction of the medication and @johnbishop's additional post in Skin Health with all of the identifying information.

What can keep you from two hours of coughing? An inhaler?

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
