What do you do for Neuropathy itch?

My doctor says I do not have neuropathy as a diagnosis for my weird itch on part of my foot and my head all the time (Scalp) and sometimes elsewhere. I don't know what to do but continue to use anti itch creams that help just a little. Benadryl too.. It helps for awhile. No redness, or signs of why.
Mostly at night for my foot. All times of the day for my scalp.

Good evening @joannaceciliani19 .......Let me be the first to welcome you to Connect. I am very interested in your "weird" itch. I am not a health professional. However, I have just spent several years dealing with and figuring out the "itch". It almost did me in. I am so pleased to be able to wake up every morning without the "weird" itch.

First.....let's talk about the itch on part of your foot and elsewhere. That may be atopic dermatitis. If so, it will respond to the medication use. That is Dupixent! It comes as an injection pen that you easily learn to manage yourself. You inject the medication into your thigh once every two weeks. From the first day I used it August 13, 2022 until today I have not had any interior or exterior itches. Life is liveable. And that includes my scalp.

Before I discovered Dupixent, my dermatologist had me on a special scalp program that also worked very well. Now with Dupixent I don't need that program at all.

However, I will give you the information that I have. There is a special shampoo and solution that you can use. It worked very well for me for several years until I discovered Dupixent. Tomorrow I will use MyChart to get the names and dosage information for you.

I will also include the Dupixent contact information. Tonight I am already in bed and the lights are out in the house. I think everyone is sleeping.

So hang on and if for some reason you don't get my message......just holler at me..
Till tomorrow!
Chris

The Benadryl spray is best.
