Liver disease itching: What helps?

Hello

You have my sympathy. My itching was so bad on the front of my legs that I scratched them until they bled; I just could not help it. I tried everything recommended by my doctor but nothing helped until I tried E45 anti-itch cream. Different creams seem to work for different people but this was a life saver for me. Good luck.

I did a quick search and learned that E45 Itch Relief Cream does not show up when I search for anti-itch creams. That is when I saw that it is a UK brand and discovered that it is available at the major chain retailers with the lotions and creams.
Here is some information that I found.
E45 Itch Relief Cream is used to treat and soothe itching caused by conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, puritis and other dry skin conditions.
Ingredients:
Urea 5.0% w/w. Lauromacrogols 3.0% w/w. Also contains: Dimeticone. Phenyl Dimeticone. Liquid Paraffin. Cetyl Palmitate. Stearic Palmitic Acid. Octyldodecanol. Polysorbate. Carbomer. Glycerol. Benzyl Alcohol. Trometamol. Purified Water.

@wildcat, Thanks for reaching across the many miles to share another possible solution for itch relief.

It is wonderful to hear your voice.
Do you have a photo(s) that you might share from Scotland in the discussion:

@wildcat - How are you doing? How long has it been since your transplant?
