Hemochromatosis: How do you deal with extreme itchiness?

@swhitman410 It is really nice that you are trying to help your Mom deal with her health issues. The itching she is having is very common with hemochromatosis. She should mention it to her doctor if she hasn't already. If the over the counter creams she is using aren't enough they may be able to prescribe something more effective.
How long has she been getting treated?

She has been being treated for about a year, however she moved states to be closer to me. Her new doctor doing her phlebotomies doesn't really consider her itchiness part of her hemochromatosis but he has ordered a steroid and Claritin that we will start today. I was just wanting to know if others have had the itchiness and did lowering the ferritin help at all? Thanks for replying to my message.
