I have had the horrible skin problem of brachial radial puritis for over 10 years. The itching, burning, biting and constant daily dealing with this is terrible and painful. Many times I have to head home as I cannot be in public- it is overwhelming. I’ve tried Gabapentin with no luck, every possible anti-itch cream, specially formulated prescription creams, several other drugs and Lyrica. Nothing helps except for ice. I sleep on ice packs every night and keep emergency ice packs in my car. I have seen 5 dermatologists from USC and UCLA with no real solutions although they tried. My neck has crushed vertebrae C3 & C4 which causes some of my problems. Living in CA Los Angeles heat does not help but I’m very active and kind of have to be outside to live here in our sunny weather. If only someone could help all of us with this.
