I am new to this site. I have been dx
with systematic lupus for nearly 3 months.
I purchased the lupus book by dr wallace
and it has clarified a lot. The thing is
none of my doctors have been able to help
with the itching. My skin itches
constantly and several prescriptions have
been tried as well as lotions,
hydrocortizone, and changing
soaps/detergants/fabric softeners/etc...
Nothing seems to help. I was told that
when I itch my skin starts to hive up and
that makes the itching worse so not to
itch in the first place. Kind of hard to
follow that advice when it is so bad I
want to cry in frustration :cry: . This
is not from my meds as it has been a
problem for years. I also have these tiny
white lumps that do not have anything in
them all over my back and elbows. I am at
a loss to dicover what is going on and the
dermatologist is also clueless. If anyone
could suggest something over the counter
that helps itching or even has had a
similar problem I would appreciate any
advice you can offer.
